Melanie J Design Studio

Introduction: I'm a bicoastal interior and layout designer/consultant and personal shopper. I spend half of my year in Maryland (or longer if a project demanded) and the other half in Los Angeles. My career path began in high school when I noticed I had not just a strong interest in design, fashion and interiors, but I also had a knack for creating wonderful layouts, exciting outfits, and beautiful spaces. This lead to my attending Parsons The New School for Design and obtaining my BBA in Design Management with department honors. Today, I help clients conceptualize their design needs and bring them to life. I get to know my clients, especially with interior projects. I believe in order for a space to be successful it cannot just look amazing, it must function according to each individual's needs and tastes. I don't just layout a space, I bring it together as a whole, paying attention to every detail no matter how small it is. I believe equal attention must be paid to the clothes we wear which is why I also specialize in image assessment and personal shopping. Our style is a major statement about who we are and it should compliment us in every way. I enjoy helping clients find their personal style and teaching them how to shop for themselves. I bring style, function, and innovation into clients lives and homes.
