About Melissa

Melissa OylerYou have found Melissa Oyler, graphic designer and Chief Creative Officer of Melissa Oyler Designs, LLC.

I live in the Charlotte, N.C., area. Born here, I was raised in Fort Mill, S.C., and somehow never really left (except for that year spent in the Lowcountry!).

I went to Winthrop University for Mass Communication (print journalism). Upon graduating I worked for a local newspaper for 7 years, editing and designing for the daily paper as first a copy editor and then as assistant news editor. I was then named editor and creative director of a women’s magazine. In 2005, I started my own business doing graphic design and left my job in early 2008 to pursue my business full time. I enjoy meeting new clients and showcasing their talents through design, enjoy meeting brides and having the chance to tell their love stories, and of course, I really enjoy working in my pajamas.

I am a book designer, a magazine designer, a business identity designer and a wedding designer. My days are never boring! Check out my website. Graphic design is my calling and I get to do what I love every day and make a living off of it. It’s an amazing life!

I am a poet, a novelist, an organizer and a clean freak. I can be an exercise nut, and I try to eat healthy. I am addicted to coffee. I like tattoos (have 4) and piercings.
