ABOUT MELISSA
For more than two decades, Melissa has worked across residential design, renovation and real estate — developing an eye for the potential in existing homes and the changes that can transform how they live and function.
​
In 2004, Melissa founded declutter + design, LLC in New York City, specializing in organizing, staging and interior design. Working with homeowners, developers and real estate professionals gave her a deep understanding of how thoughtful design, spatial planning and presentation can transform both the way a home lives and how it is perceived in the market.
​
Earlier in her career, Melissa was an Emmy Award-winning producer for the YES Network — an experience that continues to inform her approach to managing complex projects, coordinating teams and keeping track of countless details.
