I'm Melissa, an architect and artist based in Miami. In my studio, concrete ceases to be just a building material—it becomes a medium for expression. Paint carries emotion; concrete gives it permanence.

My work explores the relationship between structure and natural states—where the built form and what is felt quietly coexist. Concrete anchors each piece, while color and gesture reflect inner landscapes shaped by emotion, instinct, and presence. I'm drawn to balance—not separation—between architecture and nature.
