Melissa
Melissa Welker is an Atlanta-based interior designer with a southern sensibility that embodies a mix of new and old, fresh color, and classic silhouettes.
Raised in Waco, Texas, Melissa realized her passion for art and interiors at a young age. An upbringing in warm, gracious family homes formed the foundation for her love of the decorative arts and a classic aesthetic. After an early interest in design, Melissa went on to attend the University of Mississippi where she earned a B.A. in Art History and spent a semester studying architecture and art in Florence, Italy. Post graduation, she honed her craft under the noted and ever-inspiring Betty Burgess of Betty Burgess Design, eventually holding the title of senior designer.
In 2018, Melissa launched her eponymous firm Melissa Lacy Design.
