Hi, I’m Melissa, an East London based freelance art director & designer, formerly of Quarto and Usborne Publishing.

My speciality is design for high end illustrated non-fiction, but I have experience with preschool, novelty and picture books too. I have a passion for making beautiful books that will stand out in shop windows and on bookshelves, and it’s a joy to work with talented illustrators.

I am available to work on new books so if you have a project or collaboration in mind, please contact me at hello@melissagandhi.co.uk

Selected clients include Wide Eyed Editions (Quarto), Templar (Bonnier), Dorling Kindersley, Thames & Hudson, Kaddo (Quarto), Design Eye (Quarto)
