With more than 25 years of practice, Melanie has built a reputation for design that is both beautiful and purposeful — integrating sustainability and resiliency into every project so that clients and communities are equipped to thrive for generations to come. A licensed architect in Maryland and D.C. with reciprocity in all states, Melanie brings a rare combination of design creativity and civic leadership to her work. She has been recognized as Architect of the Year by the AIA Chesapeake Bay Chapter, earned sustainability and other awards for her projects, and has been featured in publications including Annapolis Home Magazine and Green Building and Design. She has served as Vice Chair of the Anne Arundel County Planning Advisory Board and is Policy Chair of the Arundel Rivers Federation.

It's a philosophy that shapes not only her architecture practice, but her ongoing work consulting with nonprofits, government agencies, and community organizations aligned around sustainable policy. In this episode, Karen and Melanie discuss: Success Story of Melanie Commit to Get Leads Be part of your community and follow your passion. As you are out in the community, you'll be amazed at what can come for your business. Consult to Sell Be conscious of people's needs.
