About me

Shaloam! My name is Melanie and I'm 24 years old. I'm in school to become a graphic designer, but I actually already do some cool blog design/logo work already. I don't go to school for fashion design, but I wanted to a few years ago. I still spend many sweet, quiet moments with my sewing machine (actually, they really aren't all that quiet). Those are my favorite kind of DIY posts to share with you (even though a good home decor DIY or recipe is always fun).

On My Billie I talk a lot about my snuggle buddy/shadow Maddy. I also kind of love to promote other bloggers when I love what they're doing (seriously, it's my most used and abused label for posts)!

My blog is named after my Granny. After she passed away I created a Tumblr with her name, then half-started a clothing line with it. Even though the clothing line didn't work out I just knew at some point I'd be able to have a creative outlet named after her. Now her name is home to this lifestyle blog and my design services, but more importantly its the brand I've created for myself.

I aim to be encouraging, inspiring, relatable and genuine to anyone that I come across in real life or through this blog. I want to stay "real" but optimistic. I live an incredibly happy, flawed, and blessed life and I want others to know, have, or find that too.

So besides all that, here are some other things that might help you get to know me: that silly vlog I did that one time, my faq, the flea market trip of self-discovery, and this post with random things about me. As we all know, the best way to find something out is to ask! Email me with your questions or comments to mybilliedesigns@gmail.com. You. Are. Awesome.
