Born in Massachusetts and raised in Florida, Melody Castillo (b. 1996) is a multi-disciplinary creative based in New York City.

Inspired by the natural land, present and past histories, everyday life, and the people in her community, Melody’s portfolio reflects a journey through her creative praxis and deep-rooted passion for visual storytelling.

In her most recent work, you’ll find a collection of research, photography, videography that explore themes of identity, culture, memory, and self-expression. In 2020, Melody ventured into the realm of virtual reality, directing and curating an immersive art exhibition that invites audiences to step inside an restorative world envisioned by Gen-Z. During her undergrad, Melody also explored digital media and fashion publication where she curated compelling visual content and styled editorial looks that embodied the magazine’s bold and unconventional aesthetics.

Every piece of work in her portfolio is a testament to her identity, culture, and belief that creative expression knows no bounds.
