Justin Melillo

I’m an artist, entrepreneur, and author who loves building cool things and solving interesting problems for people.

Right now I’m building MONA, the AI platform for designers, studios, and creative teams. I also serve on the board of Edge City, a nonprofit building pop-up villages for frontier science and technology.

On the side, I’m building toward a future where anyone can turn an idea into a physical object at 3d.fun, where generative AI meets 3D printing.

I’m also drawing every coffee shop in New York City.

I’ve worked with Magic Leap and DreamWorks Animation. I’ve designed tour stages for Drake and Charli XCX, and spent a few years doing interior design and architectural visualization.

Lately I’m a bit obsessed with building AI systems that help me run my companies, get more done, and free up my own time. If you want to learn how to set one up for yourself, I offer a limited number of consulting sessions.

This site is where I keep the work, short notes, and the occasional essay on what I’m learning.
