Melanie has a knack for creative projects, whether it is tiling a backsplash, designing stationary or creating unique centerpieces for entertaining! She also enjoys reading and includes among her recent library Stephanie Meyer's The Host and Toby Young's How to Lose Friends and Alienate People: A Memoir.   

How are you entrepreneurial?

Melanie is building a website that will help event planners envision color schemes for major events, such as weddings, receptions, and fundraisers. She says it has been a terrific process utilizing software developers in New Delhi and local 3D animation artists. The website will be called eventimagination.com and she aims to have it launched in 2009.

In her legal career, Melanie would like to continue practicing law and gain experience as a mediator for legal and social disputes. She is also very excited about launching her design website.
