a picture book author-illustrator based on Oahu, Hawaii. My work is inspired by a love for adventure, whimsy, and storytelling. When I’m not illustrating, I’m exploring new places, baking intricate edible designs, or dreaming up my next story.
Bringing stories to life, one illustration at a time.
I'm Melissa Meyer,
I’m a member of SCBWI Hawaii, and my whimsical artwork is sold in stores throughout the Hawaiian Islands. My picture books combine engaging narratives with playful, expressive illustrations designed to capture young readers’ imaginations.
I’d love to connect about potential projects.
