MELODY VANDERLEEST

Senior Art Director Content Strategist

ABOUT ME

I’m Melody VanderLeest, a senior content strategist and art director who loves bringing ideas to life through storytelling and design. Currently at Central College, I guide and execute content and visual direction, combining strategy with a strong eye for detail and collaboration.

Beyond my professional work, I enjoy creating fine art through my side business, Maple & Hue Studio, where I design hand-painted signs, custom wedding invitations, and other meaningful keepsakes. Blending digital design with traditional artistry lets me stay inspired and connected to the joy of making things by hand.
