about melissa
As a seasoned and dedicated fashion, table-top and soft-goods stylist, Melissa is known for her work ethic and endless energy. As a fashion design graduate, she studied the art of design and the fundamentals of visual marketing. Starting off as a visual merchandiser and window display artist for Neiman Marcus in Boston, MA, she learned the business of display marketing and the importance of creative merchandising.
When the chance to sign on as an assistant with a top styling agency came along, she couldn't refuse. Melissa quickly learned how to translate her creative three dimensional displays onto a two dimensional photograph. She assisted top stylists on well known catalogs, advertising campaigns as well as e-commerce fashion photoshoots.
As Melissa’s ability to wrangle items for photo and film grew, so did her appetite for more challenging work. She made the leap and moved to New York City in 2007, where she refined her skills in table-top soft and hard goods styling, as well as on-figure fashion both for photo and video.
Highly skilled at pairing and displaying clothing and accessories in fresh and unexpected ways, as well as her meticulous attention to detail, Melissa brings novel ideas while keeping my clients and colleagues feeling comfortable and confident in the end results. The outcome is fun, passionate work that captures attention and tells a compelling story.
