Studio

A brand doesn’t end at the logo.

Melón was born in 2025 with a simple idea: a brand doesn’t end at the logo. It ends when someone touches it, browses it, sees it move and comes back. That’s why paper and code, the camera and artificial intelligence share our table. We cut every project into clear parts and deliver it whole, led by the same people from start to finish.

Services

Eight disciplines, one table.

We group them into four capabilities so you know where to start. We do them together so you don’t have to coordinate four suppliers.

01 · Brand. Deciding who you are and making it visible.

Strategy + Identity

StrategyBrand strategy

Before we draw, we decide. We define who you’re talking to, what you promise and why people choose you, and we put it in writing so your whole team designs, sells and communicates in the same direction.

  • Assessment and interviews
  • Positioning and value proposition
  • Brand and offer architecture
  • Naming and verbal identity
  • Tone of voice and key messages
  • Launch roadmap

IdentityBranding and identity

Complete visual systems, not just logos: symbol, typography, color, patterns and illustration that work just as well on a sign, a package or a phone screen.

  • Logo and its versions
  • Palette and typography
  • Graphic system: patterns, icons and illustration
  • Stationery and applications

Workshop · Hand and machine

Paper and AI, at the same table.

Design you can touch.

We do embossing, hot-stamping, bookbinding and packaging by hand, and we use AI to explore, adapt and produce faster. They don’t compete: they correct each other. The hand gives the brand something to keep; the machine, more paths to find the right one.

Christian Lorca

Director & Graphic Artist

He founded Agencia Melón in 2025. A visual artist and full-stack developer, he draws the brand, writes the code and leads every project from start to finish. He’s the person you’ll have across the table.

Sebasthian Guggiana

Backend development and integrations

He builds what you don’t see: platforms, databases and integrations with payments, email and CRM. He makes sure what we design works on launch day and every day after.

We also work with a network of specialists in 3D animation, photography, illustration and video, brought in as each project needs and always credited by name.

Meet the network

The Network

We bring in expert hands when the project calls for it.

We lead a network of specialists in photography, animation, visual effects, 3D, identity, editorial and web design. We assemble the team each job needs and coordinate it from start to finish.

The pieces in this section belong to their authors, not to Melón, and always carry their signature.

Frequently asked questions

Before you write to us.

How much does a project cost?

It depends on each case: the scope, the timeline and what you already have in place. Our projects generally start from$500.000 CLP. After the discovery call you get a proposal with a fixed price, no surprises.

How long does it take?

An identity takes 3 to 6 weeks, and a website 4 to 8. The exact calendar goes in the proposal.

Can I hire you for just one part?

Yes. You can start with the brand, the website, a campaign or automating a process (workflows, CRM, AI assistants). Everything is ready to add the next piece whenever you need it.

Do you use artificial intelligence?

Yes, as a workshop tool and never as a replacement for the idea. We tell you when and where we use it, and we look after the rights to every image.

Do you work outside Santiago or Chile?

Yes. We’ve worked with brands in five regions of Chile and with clients in Brazil. We meet by video call and share everything in the client portal.
