MELANIE AHN
In naming his first-born child, my appa had one desire: that I have a round head — like a melon!

Today, though I do not flaunt an exceptionally spherical head, I nurture a well-rounded creative practice in narrative facilitation: experience design, visual design, and photography. I am committed to celebrating the inherent potential of the artistic brief that I am given — be it a venue, theme, brand, or person — and I pride myself in prioritizing both aesthetic and intellectual intrigue.
Have an artistic brief for me? Let's chat!
My versatile experience means that I can work collaboratively (whether that be with directors, choreographers, other designers, companies, or clients), ideate creatively, and have the hard skills to bring a vision to fruition –preparing me with the necessary ingredients for a fruitful career in the events industry.

directors/choreographers to identify a
shared vision and materialize it (from ideation
to fabrication) into engaging spatialization
and compelling spectacle.
