Melissa Gerstle shares her tips for outdoor entertaining, spaces and décor.

“A lot of times, when planning an outdoor kitchen, people want to hide the grill or put it on the side of the house because they think it's unsightly. While I don't always want to see a straight-on view of the grill, I do still want to make it convenient for the chef to socialize with others outside. I never want to banish the chef somewhere far away from the party.”

Since 2015, I have helped over 100 interior designers, builders, builders, and architects – from those just starting out to award-winning designers published in Architectural Digest, Luxe, and more.

My process starts with what is already true within you, then brings it to life in a way that resonates with your ideal clients.

I work with designers because they’re awesome. I’m a member of IDS (Interior Design Society) and served on the board of the Virtual Chapter. Design events I’ve attended include High Point, Vegas Market, and BOLD Summit (Business of Luxury Design).

When I’m not creating brands and websites, you can find me listening to audiobooks and going on long speed walks with friends.

I’m from Seattle and now live in New York City with my wife, Gaby.
