Whether she is bungee jumping in New Zealand or skydiving in North Georgia, swimming with the dolphins or meeting a baby panda in China, walking the red carpet in Beverly Hills or hiking the Blue Ridge mountains, Melissa shows you what it means to prosper by design and celebrate your life! Inspired by her colorful family legacy that includes her great grandad, American architect and icon, Frank Lloyd Wright, her mother, the late Oscar winning actress Anne Baxter (best known for her role as Eve in All About Eve and Princess Nefertiti in Cecil B. DeMille's epic classic The Ten Commandments), and her godmother, the late 8x Academy Award winning costume designer, Edith Head, Melissa knows how to DREAM BIG and MAKE IT HAPPEN! From an upside down start,$70K in debt, she launched her own interior design practice in 1994 and built it to 7-figure success in under a decade.

After all, according to Melissa, a successful business is one that serves and supports the whole of your life and doesn't swallow you whole.
