Melissa LaPosta is the creative spirit behind Otter Designs, a whimsical corner of art and laughter born from a simple need to make something honest; and sometimes joyfully offbeat. What began as an outlet quickly grew into a space that blends humor, heart, and curiosity.

“Art doesn’t always have to be serious to be meaningful;
sometimes the silliest things say the most.”

Working primarily in digital art and photography, Melissa is currently branching into watercolor and acrylics, bringing her signature mix of playful imagination and emotional depth to new mediums. Her work balances the genuinely silly with the quietly sincere, inviting others to embrace creativity as both an escape and a reflection of real life.

Through Otter Designs, Melissa aims to share joy, spark curiosity, and maybe, just maybe, remind people that wonder is never out of reach.
