“I have had the privilege to work with Melanie on both a home project and business project. She is an outstanding architect and the outstanding results of both projects are examples of her creativity and abililty to work outside the box. Melanie is easy to work with and eager to satisfy the client which makes for a very pleasant design experience. Both my home and business project were very unique in nature and I have always been impressed with Melanie's ability to be creative and find solutions to complex design challenges. I highly recommend her!”
