Mel Armstrong is an illustrator and surface pattern designer, but before

that she worked as a web designer and graphic artist and before that - she

was a professional ballerina. Talk about a change of career! However, it

seems to have been worth it, because her designs can now be found on

countless products globally, and she’s publishing picture books with New

Frontier Publishing, Hallmark USA, Oxford University Press, MIKRO and

Liontree.
