I'm currently available for consultation and design work.
“The whole world inspires me, every day. I’m constantly creating and learning something new whether it’s remodeling my home or taking a calligraphy class. I thrive on information and enjoy reading about the latest discoveries, science and, of course, art and design. I’m always searching to be inspired and aware of the world around me.”
‘I’m a constant state of perpetual motion, observation and reflection. My approach to design is very hands on and I enjoy rolling up my sleeves when challenges arise.’ Follow Melissa’s creative process on Instagram @wildfloweringdream
