Welcome! I am Melisa Rana, a graphic designer and photographer based in Omaha. Feel free to stay as long as you want to learn more about my work and me.

  • I have been taking photos for 4 years now but my interest started in high school. If you need a photographer for graduation, headshots, senior year, small events, or any portrait related shoots then I am your gal! I love collaborating with my clients on any ideas they have and helping them with creative direction.

  • My interest in photography was the reason I decided to pursue graphic design at UNO. I love using the variety of adobe programs and wanted to learn more. Beautifully designed branding, layouts, and packages are my obsession. Currently pursing a career as a Graphic Designer!

  • This is my newest interest, I took a class through Launch Academy at Forge earlier this year. Eager to learn more and combine my other skills to create user friendly interface and experience!

Hi!

It’s so nice to e-meet you!

I am Melisa Rana, a creative who loves communicating my client’s ideas through visuals and making them feel beautiful. I learned how to take photos way before I started designing. My curiosity for editing photos transitioned into getting an education in graphic design at the University of Nebraska Omaha.

I design, shoot, and edit from my knowledge. But individuals around me, nature, and travel are my main form of inspiration. I am constantly developing new ways to refine my work and style that resonates with me and hopefully with you all to.

In my personal time I love to cook, go on road trips, find a wonderful playlists, hike, or chill out with my friends and family.

Testimonials

Simone Eve Bundang, Sojern

“I highly recommend Melisa for your next design role. When she joined Sojern as an intern, she hit the ground running and took direction very well. She was eager to learn and grow and it showed with each new project she took on – from icon illustrations to helping build our image library to working on across different marketing collateral. She has a fantastic eye for visuals and is super easy to work with. I wish she was able to stay with Sojern longer because she is a fantastic designer with a bright future.”

Amisha Subedi, Senior

“Melisa is the best person to take your senior pictures. Senior pictures are such an important milestone and she does an incredible job capturing exactly who you are in the best way possible. She goes out of her way to make your experience memorable. I highly recommended her.”
