You found me!

  • Dual citizen - USA & Australia (even though I’ve never been)

  • 99.99% guaranteed to fall asleep during a movie

  • Charcuterie board QUEEN

  • Lives the maximalist life (everything is sentimental)

  • Loves to host a themed party

  • Free time spent: throwing pottery, DIY projects, exploring my neighborhood with my dog, and this!

   My name is Melissa, but my friends call me Missy!

It was my grandmother who always supported me in all of these endeavors. She made me feel like I could do anything; I just had to decide what that was.

So here I am, pursuing a creative career in the city she called home for more than 80 years... in a city that I now call home too.

Here’s my why
