About Graphika | Newcastle Brand Designer Melissa Horvat

Melissa Horvat Graphic Designer Newcastle

29+ years of design experience

"If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life."

That quote truly sums up the passion I have for being a designer, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found my spark of joy.

Over the past 29 years, that passion has opened doors I never imagined—from representing small businesses at Parliament House to working with international and national clients, including the United Nations, the Australian Paralympic Committee, government departments, corporate organisations, and hundreds of small and medium-sized businesses.

But none of it came without hard work.

I built my business from a tiny office under the stairs in my garage. It had no windows, but my goal was simple... to build a business that allowed me to be there for my kids while creating a life of freedom and opportunity for my family.

17 years later, I run an award-winning agency that prides itself on strategic design and serving my clients....and I'm only getting started.

I'm glad you're here.
