It’s so good to meet you. I’m Mel.

Michigan-born automotive designer turned interior designer, based in Rolling Hills Estates, CA. When I’m not working on designing comfortable interior spaces for my clients, you’ll find me around the house, chasing after my dachshund or managing our busy family life with lots of love (and patience).

I want to make people feel comfortable at home –– just like how I like to feel in my home. Where you’re welcome to come in, kick off your shoes, put your feet up, catch a game, snuggle a dog, eat some good food and just be…

 

I’m a Total…

Family gal.

Family and friends are my anchor; whether we're tackling projects or grilling outside together, these connections make everyday moments truly special. Spending time with my husband, our adult kids and extended family is what makes me the happiest. Oh and our dog is part of that family too and often my “work” colleague!"

Wanderer & Wonderer.

I get inspiration from all over the world while traveling whether it be visiting family in Austria, looking at amazing artwork in Mexico, or seeing the amazing Fall colors in Connecticut! I am always enjoying all the wonderful food along the way from pierogis to pies! Travel + food is fuel for my inspiration!

Sportie.

As a BIG 10 family we are all things Michigan, Wisconsin, and now USC. Whether it is hockey or football we can be found in the stands or cheering from the comfort of the sofa. Beyond the BIG 10 I constantly get updated about the scores and stats from our favorite family NHL & NFL teams. And of course, I am now a pickle baller and trying hard to be a good golfer.

 

I live, work and design out of Rolling Hills Estates, CA.
