Getting Ahead

Mélanie's dream client is described as being "head of a country" and for a space that "would become a backdrop for where history is made."

Without Borders

For a family in need, Mélanie once travelled to the Dominican Republic to build a house in five days. Mélanie believes that from this experience, she has "learned so much about the culture, building practices and about myself. Most importantly, I learned that philanthropy is something you give [and] what you receive back changes you forever."

Vive la République!

If Mélanie could practice anywhere in the world, she would choose France because of its "rich history, diversity, respect for arts and culture" and the country's "appreciation for fine design and craftsmanship."
