Founder & Creative Director, Indigo Ink Interiors
Melissa ’s journey into design began with a deep love of construction and an early fascination with how buildings come together. She started working for homebuilders in 1999, customizing client plans and learning firsthand how the construction industry operates. Her career began with forward-thinking startups and homebuilders, where she quickly saw the limitations of cookie-cutter homes and grew eager to create something more meaningful.

After working in boutique architecture firms and mastering the art of client collaboration and custom detailing, Melissa discovered environmental graphic design—where branding and architecture meet. That discovery led to a decade of creating immersive brand environments and visual identities for businesses nationwide.
In 2014, she launched her own business full-time and has since evolved Indigo Ink Interiors into a full-service residential design studio. Today, Melissa blends architectural insight, graphic clarity, and bold creativity to design layered, high-functioning homes for clients seeking color, personality, and purpose in their spaces.
What makes her different? Melissa speaks both design and construction fluently. She brings a rare combination of creativity and precision to every project—bridging concept and execution with confidence. Her work reflects her belief that homes should be expressive, personal, and a little unexpected. Life’s too short for builder beige.
