About —
Lea Melendez

Creative Technologist

We live our lives made up of a great quantity of isolated instants. So as to be lost at the heart of a multitude of things. (From the Double Dream of Spring, 1970.)



(that’s me )


Every artist needs their toolkit. Our current digital landscape is fast-paced, a never-ending dance of new and old blended together to forge captivating digital products. Here’s an overview of what I mainly use to create my projects:
  1. Adobe Suite - Figma - Sketch
  2. HTML/CSS - Javascript
  3. Vue - React - Angular
  4. Wix - Wordpress - Cargo
  5. Unity - Unreal Engine

I’m an NYC-based interdisciplinary designer currently working as a UI/UX Designer (Sharp Notions). I also work independently for modern businesses and game studios. With my unique skillset rooted in both frontend web development (RIT) and design (Parsons), I’m driven to merge technology and creativity. My work includes impactful brand identities, modern websites, and playful game design.

Growing up in Manhattan’s Upper East Side I’ve been exposed to a vast melting pot of ideas and values throughout my life. Bringing this cultural exposure to my designs, I craft accessible designs that inspire audiences worldwide. An obsession with emergening art technologies has motivated me to explore a variety of digital mediums and web tools.
