Melissa, founder of Artweyes Graphics, has always had a passion for giving back to her community and beyond; to non-profit organisations who serve those less fortunate than ourselves.

'Create It Forward' is an initiative, 8 years running, where collections are widely received from supporters (mostly toiletries) and passed over to the homeless.

And now starting with the launch of this website, funds from every purchased product on the store will go towards a chosen non-profit organisation.

"I have traits of my mother, where I am passionate about helping the wider community and those less fortunate and I do this in varying ways.

I accept donations of toiletries for organisations such as Rosies - Friends on the Street, where volunteers deliver goods and offer friendship to those marginalised in our society.

I also offer my services to those NFP groups whom are in need of design assistance, and where funds are minimal.

Can I just say, thank you for supporting my small business and taking the time to read."

Almost 15 million people were affected by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, with more than four million people left homeless. This is a clipping where Melissa co-ordinated a collection of food, water, clothing and toiletries to add into a shipping container bound for the Philippines.
