ABOUT MELISSA WANG STUDIO
I am an artist and designer serving East Bay and the greater San Francisco Area in California, United States. My mission is to create artistic experiences that elevate social and ecological awareness.
In late 2019, I left a full-time role as a designer at Facebook (now Meta) to pursue my dreams of becoming an artist. I was burnt out by a bottomline that monopolizes humanity’s attention for profit.
Art has empowered me to reconnect with my imagination, express my true self and manifest the beauty I wish to see. The act of creation is as integral as the instinct to make fire. Through a commission, I’m excited to nourish your inner spark into a bonfire of joy.
ART COMMISSIONS
Please review my pricing & other important details before scheduling a consult.
“I am so pleased with how everything turned out. You are a genius...I really felt heard and understood by you. You really did capture my true essence.”
TAROT READINGS
I am a relational and intersectional tarot reader. I practice tarot as a conversational and speculative form of story-telling, drawing connections between what you intuitively already know and the signs presented in the cards.
I have pulled over 500+ cards and read for folks ages 20-70+ on career transitions, relationships, business ventures, family/ancestral dynamics and more. I integrate Western astrology, Daoism (Chinese cosmology) & mineralogy. I’ve completed 80+ hours of hybrid coursework with industry leaders like Benebell Wen, Chani Nicholas, Alice Sparkly Kat and more, including peer feedback and private mentoring with T. Susan Chang.
“Melissa provided a very comforting and accepting space that I felt relaxed to just openly talk about what was in my mind...Seeing the card that I chose really made me feel like I was part of the magic powered by her witchy intuitions. Really enjoyed the conversation we had and highly recommend her services!”
DESIGN PROJECTS
With over 12+ years of design experience in healthcare, academia and tech, I launched my own design studio in 2020. Since then, I have curated exhibitions, designed websites, launched arts events and worked with local galleries to create activist posters.
