About
 About From an early age, Melody Cassen pursued a multitude of art forms, including painting, drawing, weaving, ceramics, and even cooking, always experimenting with what worked best for her ideas. At the age of 8 she created a winning advertisement for a local store. Her talents naturally led her to pursue a career in art. After completing a degree in graphic design at East Carolina University she headed to New York City, where she designed book covers for publishing houses Random House and Simon & Schuster, among many others.
After ten years of working in publishing both as a designer and art director, Melody turned her attention to creating images that embody her own style and personal point of view. She left her staff job to freelance as a photo illustrator, maintaining many of her publishing ties as she pursued editorial and corporate clients. Her work has been represented in the Graphis Photo Annual. She currently splits her time between New York and North Carolina.
