"Design is not just a place for shelter. It should excite, spark interest, and stimulate one’s overall wellbeing. "
Client Testimonial
"Melissa was a pleasure to work with throughout all phases of our renovation. We renovated our kitchen, master bathroom and three additional bathrooms. In the planning stages Melissa listen carefully to our needs and gave us exciting options. When we chose the layouts, she worked with us to choose the materials and fixtures. After the selection of the fixtures, she visited the site to make sure the installation and the final results were perfect. We loved working with her and her responsiveness when we had questions or ideas. I would definitely work with Melissa again and so appreciate her attention to detail, communication and style."
Experience
Melissa Cooley joined the Case team in 2012. With a passion for design and a deep love for curating materials, she’s had the honor to collaborate with clients to produce beautiful spaces that range from kitchens, bathrooms, offices, wet-bars to comfortable attic retreats. Throughout her tenure with Case, her connection with clients has proven that each design is unique, and that thoughtful design greatly impacts one’s functionality, well-being, and overall psychology in a space.
She believes that great design results from open-minded collaboration, clever ideas, and a strong will to listen to others’ needs. This is and has remained her design philosophy throughout her career.
Melissa enjoys spending time with her husband and two amazing daughters.
