Hey! I'm Melissa
I'm Melissa, an artist and product designer passionate about data visualization and watercolors. My path has always been driven by a deep desire for independence, creativity and purpose. After studying art and design and spending 15 years working in the tech industry across Lima, Barcelona and Paris, I chose to reconnect with what truly inspires me — designing mindful experiences and painting nature-inspired art.
This vision led me to create Lupuna Studio, a conscious design practice where data, art, and wellbeing come together to shape meaningful visual stories.
Today, I collaborate with brands and organizations to craft unique visual identities, data infographics and design systems, bringing clarity, beauty, and innovation to every project.
As both a designer and watercolor artist, I find balance in the intersection of logic and emotion, precision and intuition. This duality fuels a creative process that is both disciplined and soulful — one that seeks to tell stories with heart, awareness, and purpose through every design I create.
My values
MIDNFULLNESS
I cultivate awareness in everything I do, from design to execution, ensuring that each action is intentional, present, and in harmony with the environment. This allows me to express myself with authenticity and meaning.
SUSTAINABILITY
My work reflects a commitment to ethical craftsmanship, inspired by the resilience of the Amazonian Lupuna. I integrate ecological practices, use sustainable materials, and support local trade collaborations.
CREATIVE VISUALIZATION
I believe in the power of imagination to shape reality. Creative visualization drives my art & designs, allowing me to explore new perspectives, embrace innovation, and transform complex information into tangible and authentic visuals.
Lupuna studio's mission
My goal is to help people and organizations nurture their creativity and personal wellbeing while communicating with purpose.
I’ve created a set of services and tools that turn ideas into visuals that inform, connect, and inspire action, cultivating a sense of awareness, sustainability, and balance within the creative world.
By collaborating with partners and organizations, I aim to shape a more thoughtful, human-centered creative future — where design becomes a tool for clarity, beauty, and positive change.
