Desirée Melo

Creative Program Leader, Artist-Educator & Researcher 

I design and lead arts, education, and community-based programs that connect creative practice, curriculum, research, public engagement, and visual communication.

With more than 20 years of experience in higher education, I have taught and developed learning environments across visual arts, design, communication, semiotics, studio practice, and creative processes. My broader career spans public cultural management, academic leadership, artist development, curatorial practice, and community-based education in Brazil and the United States.
