More About Melissa . . .
Melissa’s customized process includes your ideas, favorite pictures and family heirlooms as inspirations for designs that capture your one-of-a-kind look, going beyond the retail sameness of today’s home furnishings market. Whether your style is traditional, transitional, eclectic or modern, Melissa’s interiors are infused with character, comfort and timeless appeal.
Melissa apprenticed with leading design firms in the DC area and earned her BA in interior design from Marymount University in 1995. Prior to turning to her design career, she spent nearly a decade in the fast-paced world of television news, observing, listening and telling people’s stories for CNN.
A self-described people-person, Melissa reflects on that experience: “ In many ways, that’s what I do as a designer. I help my clients create a narrative for their homes which they can add to and enjoy every day.”
