About
Melissa LeMieux is savvy with a color wheel, knows her fabrics, and loves her shoes. She admires LeCorbusier and adores Coco Chanel. LeMieux started her design career as a residential and hospitality interior designer, but soon realized that simply selecting carpets and drapery wasn’t enough. LeMieux wanted to be more hands on, she wanted to design pieces from ground up, fabrics from print to weave, accessories from inside-out; which brings her to her current study in industrial design.
