I’m honored to share that I’ll be speaking at NFT NYC 2025 on a panel that’s deeply aligned with everything I stand for—pushing creative boundaries, fostering accessibility, and building communities through storytelling and blockchain art.
📅 Date: June 25–26
📍 Location: Times Square, New York
🎤 Session Title: How to Launch an NFT on the Blockchain
🔗 View Panel Details
This session will be a space for artists, founders, and curious minds to learn how to start an NFT collection, activate community, and integrate purpose into Web3 drops—and I’m coming with real stories, real tools, and real love for this space.
About Me
I’m Melissa DiVietri, also known as Blue Eye Queen—a Detroit-born abstract artist, storyteller, and globally recognized accessibility advocate. Living with sacral agenesis and traveling the world with mobility limitations has shaped the foundation of my mission: to make creativity and tech accessible to all.
Through my art, I speak to the soul—using vibrant colors, lived experience, and emotional texture. In Web3, I’ve launched multiple sold-out NFT collections, built immersive virtual galleries, and served as Community Director for jRNY Gallery in Las Vegas.
In 2022, I joined Yuga Labs as Legal Operations Manager, where I created the takedown department, escalated over 8,000 abuse reports, and protected over $1B in ETH volume from fraud. Today, I blend blockchain, automation, and accessibility tech to empower creators with tools, freedom, and visibility.
Collect My Artwork
In celebration of NFT NYC, I’ve released over 200 pieces of abstract art—each one a deeply personal reflection of my journey as an artist and advocate. These works are now live and ready to collect on my official NFT NYC art page.
Whether you’re an art lover, a first-time collector, or an on-chain enthusiast—there’s something for you.

This isn’t just a panel—it’s an open door for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked, underfunded, or underestimated. I’ll be breaking down:
How to mint without huge budgets
Tools to launch with purpose (including bots and IRL activations)
How I use storytelling to build loyal collectors and brand presence
And how you can create from a place of truth and power
If you’re in NYC, I’d love to meet you. Stop by, say hi, and let’s make space for something extraordinary.
