About Melanie

Friendly neighborhood tech unicorn.

Hybrid designer–developer with 20+ years of global experience. I’m Melanie Graham, founder of Graham Agency, which I launched while living in the San Francisco Bay Area — where I spent a decade building brands and websites for startups and enterprise clients alike.

Before moving to the U.S. 🇺🇸, I worked with companies across Australia 🇦🇺, including time spent in Sydney—giving me a solid foundation in both markets.

Now based in Byron Bay, I work closely with local and Australia-wide businesses, bringing Silicon Valley insight and a deep understanding of the Australian landscape to every project I lead.

What’s a Tech Unicorn?

A tech unicorn is someone who blends the creative with the technical — a rare hybrid of design and development.

I don’t just build things — I connect the dots between brand, web, and marketing to make everything work together with purpose.

With two decades of experience, I’ve:

Branded startups from scratch

Reimagined & refreshed established brands

Designed websites, apps & internal tools

Built scalable design systems

Built custom sites, apps & no-code builds

Handled both front-end & back-end dev

Planned & executed digital & social marketing strategies

Not much scares me!!

From one of few women in computer science to leading a tech-driven business — my journey is about breaking norms and building better.

I’m passionate about:

Supporting next-gen women in STEM

Championing Tech Diversity

Sharing stories & creating visibility

Encouraging women to lead in digital
