mEET MELISSA

I am a graduate of the University of Florida [Go Gators!] with a Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design. I grew up in Orlando and moved to Jacksonville, Florida upon graduation. I worked for two years in commercial design at a furniture dealer before realizing my passion was in residential design working directly with clients in their homes. I soon got in touch with my wonderful mentor, work mom, and friend, Liz Studer with Decorator Girl. Together, we grew the company as well as our brand. She taught me all about design and I brought my technological skills to the team. We made the perfect duo. Our first major project was a remodel of a golf clubhouse turned full service restaurant, Talons. We then went on to participate in two Designer Dream Homes for the Riverside Avondale Preservation Society (RAP). During my three years at Decorator Girl, we were also recognized as Best of Houzz every year, won the Bold City Best Interior Designer in 2017, gained over 200 news clients, and were featured in the December 2016 issue of Jacksonville Magazine.

As we know, life always throws you a curveball when you are least expecting it. My amazing HUSBAND , Ryan, got a fantastic job offer in Colorado so we decided to make the move across the country. Upon arrival, I decided it was time to live out my dream of owning my own company. Thus, Sheer Interiors was born. I have always had a passion for being creative, pushing the design envelope, and making my client's vision come true. I can’t wait to let the beautiful state of Colorado inspire not only me, but also my designs.
