What she does
- One designer, start to finish. You work with Melissa directly. No account manager, no hand-off to a junior.
- 20+ years in healthcare. Medical clinics, dental and pediatric practices, specialty offices and wellness spaces.
- Patient flow comes first. Waiting, treatment and staff zones planned around how a busy day actually runs.
- Codes handled up front. Infection control, cleanable and durable finishes, accessibility and healthcare requirements resolved before the first drawing.
- Every finish chosen on purpose. Materials picked for wear, cleaning, light and the feel of the room — not pulled from a catalogue.
- Drawings and documentation in AutoCAD. Accurate drawings, design schedules and documentation developed in AutoCAD, so the finished space matches what was planned.
- One person accountable. From first sketch to final walkthrough, the same hands answer every question.
- North Bay based. Sonoma, Marin, Napa and Mendocino counties.
