— Melissa Read, Founder & Creative Director

“Interior design, for me, has always been intrinsically linked to happiness.”

Melissa’s ethos is that a space should always enrich a clients lifestyle and embody their personality.

Having completed a BCs Honours in Marketing, Melissa took the leap to leave her Marketing career in one of the largest media agencies in London to attend the prestigious KLC School of Design in Chelsea, where she studied for three years completing a Level 4 & 5 BA Honours Degree in Interior Design.

Since then she has honed her skills by designing for some of London’s most respected Interior Design studios, leading on multiple high-end projects for private clients and property developers for numerous years. Designing some of London’s most prestigious developments, townhouses and penthouse apartments, in locations such as Chelsea, Belgravia and Mayfair.

Melissa also has an extensive interior styling and home staging background, both for private clients as well as collaborating with brands and photographers on interior design photoshoots.

Understanding the need for authentic, individualist designs, Studio Burntwood was created.
