Hi, I’m Mellyssa
THE MIND OF AN INFJ-A INTROVERTED CREATIVE
Hey There Friends;
I’m mostly known for creating strategic brand & design, but I’m also know as a cosplayer, avid content creator, and all things tech. Most weekends, you can find me at anime conventions and being an advocate for chronic conditions and mental health, especially after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, anxiety, and depression. Other times, you will catch me creating content on social media and UGC content for brands that resonate with you all.

Anime Expo 2026: What It Was Actually Like
Anime Expo 2026 is one of those weekends that’s still loud in my head even now that I’m home and caught up on sleep. I went all four days this year with industry access, which came with a small but honestly huge perk: the industry lounge. I have fibromyalgia, so having a quiet place to… Read more
