— The Design VAThe person behind the work
Hi, I'm Melissa — founder of The Design VA and your right and left hand in keeping projects running smoothly.
With over a decade of experience as a project manager and executive assistant in interior design and real estate development, I know how much time and energy goes into managing the back end of a creative business.
From order placement and install scheduling to vision board prep and vendor coordination, I've supported designers through every stage of the process. I've seen firsthand how powerful it is when designers get to focus on the creative — and leave the rest to someone they trust.
