Mehiel Creative is the design and art direction studio of Monica Mehiel, a hands-on creative leader with 15 years of experience in translating high-level business strategy and marketing goals into fresh, impactful visual communication that resonates.

Monica’s professional experience is vast and varied by design — no pun intended. Her creativity thrives when presented with new challenges and experiences. From global beauty brands and luxury fashion retailers, to small tech startups and international nonprofits, Monica has acquired a wide range of experience in creative direction, art direction and design for branding, marketing, advertising, product and events.

Monica has spent time with in-house creative teams at Sephora, The RealReal, Salesforce and ShopStyle, and has worked agency-side to bring ideas to life for Visa, Walmart and The North Face. Monica offers pro bono design consulting to early stage nonprofits that align with her values. She also mentors young designers at the start of their careers.

When offline, Monica loves spending time soaking up the sun. She finds gardening, hiking, and lazing around in a hammock or a large body of water all equally enjoyable. Lifetime obsessions that continue to inspire her are the NBA, old episodes of The Twilight Zone and Twin Peaks, fashion and film production design. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and daughter.
