About Melinda

Thanks for visiting my website and considering me for your next writing assignment. I’m Melinda J. Irvine, a professional writer, artist, and blogger. I’ve been working as a full-time freelance writer since early 2017, but my professional background and passion for writing began decades before this.

I worked for years as a venue manager and then management consultant in the Australian hospitality industry. Becuase I was good at writing (and enjoyed it so much too) much of my role was focused on the development of operational procedures, internal documents, and training.

As a management consultant and trainer working with a leading RTO in Queensland, I learned a lot about VET Training and the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). I also gained considerable experience developing ASQA-compliant course materials and configuring Moodle LMS.

In 2014 I took a hiatus in the Philippines and ended up staying on to take care of an orphaned boy I met in the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda. Three years later (2017) I launched Melinda J. Irvine Writing and Design so I could complete assignments remotely for Australian clients and take care of my son.

Fast forward 11 years, it’s 2025 and my writing business is thriving. I continue to serve Australian small business owners, community organisations, and independent professionals who need quality writing. Maybe I can help you too.

Well, that’s the short version of my story, if you’d like to read my full career history and background, check out the About Melinda page here on the website or head over to my Linkedin profile. There’s lots more details there, and plenty of photos too.

Right now (April 2025) I’m studying graphic design and branded fashion at Torrens university (Sydney). Designing this fun avatar was one of my first assignments. You can probably tell I’m completely in love with orange, thick black outlines, and clashy colours.

When I’m not writing, you’ll find me sewing home decor, collaging art books, designing costumes for my son’s school programs, or experimenting with embroidery patterns.
