Personal Projects
Melissa’s background as a fashion and accessories designer, travel connoisseur, dedicated 1st Dibs hunter, and overall very particular person led her to start The Particulars, her personal blog, in 2018. Since then, she has interviewed over 100 women founders about their own particulars, logged her travels to 50+ destinations, and shared her experience learning how to surf.
N.I.C.E. Pack
In 2021, Melissa drew on her background as a fashion designer and boutique owner to create a casual and cool bag that can be worn three ways—cross body, around the waist, or as a clutch. Right away, the N.I.C.E. Pack was a hit, appearing on everyone from Mandy Moore to Gwyneth Paltrow and more. Melissa continues to evolve the iconic Pack through limited-edition seasonal colorways and popular brand collaborations. You can shop the N.I.C.E. Pack here.
