Our Team
Melissa Lee, Founder & Principal
Melissa Lee founded her multidisciplinary design firm, Bespoke Only, in 2012. Bringing both her multicultural upbringing, academic background in psychology along with a former career in luxury goods, Lee’s personal and professional experiences enriches and sets apart Bespoke Only’s practice, resulting in work with an exceptionally layered quality and depth. These experiences now shape the way she works with clients at Bespoke Only, which is based out of Brooklyn, New York. Lee’s ability to bridge the realms of the human psyche and the world of design on an emotional level within spaces is evident through her work. Her design ethos lies in a firm curiosity to the human experiences with their environments, while acting as a custodian to the dwelling with a timeless touch.
Lee perceives each space as a living, evolving entity shaped and transformed through intimate interactions over time. As an immigrant and first generation American herself, there’s an earnest sense of belonging and acceptance Lee creates in her work.
