About Melissa
To know me and my passion for interior design is to know it stems from my grandfather, Papa, an interior designer who taught me the fundamentals of how I design a space. The key elements in every design I create were embedded from a young age when I would go with Papa to his projects. Every time I meet new clients, I focus on making the space appealing to the eye, ensuring functionality of the space and make certain that my personal aesthetic does not overshadow those of the client. This is YOUR space to love and live in for years to come and that is always top of mind.
Interior design is something I have gravitated towards my entire life, rearranging my own room and any room in my parents’ house until it felt just right. After becoming a mom, I was inspired to take the plunge and start Melissa’s Designs which combined my passion for interior design and expertise in project management while allowing me to spend time with my little ones. Fast forward four years and 100+ projects later, Melissa’s Designs has flourished into more than I could have dreamed of. Every project has been challenging, rewarding and helped me cultivate a deeper understanding of how to create spaces that fuse a client’s vision with a highly trained eye.
As an Interior Designer, my goal is to create a process that is simple, enjoyable and efficient. Interior Design is more than pretty finishes and color selection - it is weaving the way you will use the space with compelling finishes, texture, colors and styles. Building relationships with each client is an integral piece because each home is as unique as the person/people living in it and therefore each project should reflect that.
Papa always told me, “You’re gonna be somebody” and with each project I work on, I know I’m making him proud.
