About Melanie Milne-Davies

Melanie Milne-Davies

Melanie is a lover of all things design, food, travel and lifestyle. She has been in magazines for most of her career – although began her creative journey in New York, studying at Parsons School of Design and learning the tools of the trade at one of Manhattan’s last existing printing presses.

Since 2006, Melanie has been back in Australia where she has worked for some of this country’s most recognised – and respected – magazines. She worked as Art Director for the award-winning The Australian Financial Review Magazine, Luxury magazine and Sophisticated Traveller; worked on business titles BRW and Smart Investor; and led the creative team at Voyeur, Virgin Australia’s popular in-flight magazine.

Melanie has also been fortunate to work on a wide spectrum of freelance projects, for corporate heavyweights to stay-at-home mums re-establishing their business identities.

Outside of work, she is the proud new mum to a vivacious little boy, relishes spending time with her family – and enjoying all things food, travel and lifestyle!
