Florence Creative

And say hello to Mel - based in Bairnsdale, Victoria - a mother of beautiful 2 year old Elsie Florence, a partner of nearly 12 years to Branden and a lover of cups of tea, gardening, home organisation and someone who is on the way to finding herself again after a big few years.. (2020 - need I say more!)

I am and have always been a creative at heart, so this “name change” isn’t about a new busine

ss venture, but more of an opportunity for me to share the things I love all in one little hub. as too is the time to dedicate to my graphic design skills, but my love for design will live on through the return of the ever so popular “personalised prints” range. A not so known side to my creativity, is my love of gardens and growing cut flowers, so I look forward to sharing the journey with you come Summer time when my cut flower garden will bloom and I can share my surplus of flowers with you all!

'Meli A Personalised Prints' first came to business in 2011 when she began making personalised prints as gifts for her friends and family members who were welcoming their new bubs in to the world, buying their first homes, and celebrating marriages and engagements. She wanted something original and thoughtful to give them, that they themselves might not be able to make. After much encouragement, Meli A ventured into the local market scene of Bairnsdale, when founder Melissa Ananiadis, a qualified graphic designer, moved from Melbourne in search of a lifestyle change and wanting to expand her creativity. Word of mouth spread and Mel's venture quickly grew into creating custom inspirational quote prints and designs for all areas of the home, as well as offering an affordable and professional graphic design service to many small businesses. Mel then expanded her services after her eye for styling parties caught the eye of friends and family and Meli A Design grew into offering assistance in styling/set up or organising entire events such markets like 'The Pop Up Collection in 2019 and smaller celebrations such as birthdays and baby showers. She was able to merge her graphic design skills and balloon and fringe garland making skills into affordable packages for the local region. Mel then took a break come 2020, thanks to a global pandemic, and welcomed her daughter beautiful Elsie Florence into the world and has been sitting quiety on the business front ever since.
