About

The Studio

Mel Brown Design interprets the design brief as a foundation for understanding what clients need. Working closely with architects and delivering comprehensive design from fixture selection through material finish to final staging. Every decision across the project moves in one direction.

The firm design spaces that function through feeling. Light, material, and flow layer together to shape how people experience movement and moment. This approach to interior design operates at full scope. Mel Brown Design has active projects across Texas and Florida, treating material, space, and detail as one integrated decision.

Mel Brown, Chief Executive Officer

Mel Brown is the founder of Mel Brown Design and holds a degree in Art, Design, and Technology and a diploma in Interior Design, and spent a decade working across residential and commercial projects in UK and Spain before establishing the firm in the United States. Her background spans fine art as well as design: she worked as a professional artist, selling original work in Manchester, London, New York, and Austin, and continues to produce original pieces for select clients.

Over more than two decades in practice, she has led residential, hospitality, and multi-unit development projects across Texas, Florida, and beyond. Her approach begins with how a space is actually used before it is designed: how clients move through a kitchen, what a room is asked to do at different times of day, what the space needs to produce or feel like. Those functional requirements layer with taste, scale, and timeline to determine the design.
