brand & web design studio
Offering vintage & editorial inspired visual identities for creative small businesses
Fine July is a boutique design studio nestled in Southern Maryland – serving clients around the world. I blend the timeless allure of vintage ephemera with contemporary design sensibilities, creating visual narratives that resonate across eras. My approach goes beyond mere aesthetics; I delve deep into the soul of each brand, unearthing its unique story and character.


ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Melissa –
a brand designer with a curator’s spirit, rooted in Southern Maryland & serving creative souls everywhere.
I believe the most compelling brands feel like they’ve lived many lives. My work is driven by discovery—unearthing forgotten ephemera, vintage textures, and public domain treasures to craft identities that whisper rather than shout. Drawing inspiration from haute couture’s quiet drama and the patina of well-loved objects, I create brands for creatives who understand that thoughtful design speaks louder than trends.
When I’m not piecing together brand stories, you can find me photographing intimate portraits, hunting through estate sales, or catching live music across the East Coast.
If you’re looking for branding that’s more discovery than decoration, you’re in the right place.
