DESIGN WORK
FOR THE SOULFUL
PURPOSE OF HEARTH
Like a circle of stones that supports your creative fire, I help shape the aesthetic storytelling of your sacred offering that calls others to gather at your hearth.
THOSE WHO CARRY FIRE
+ who I work with +
I collaborate with those who have significant offerings to bring to community near and far; those who are catalyzed by visionary, healing, creative or soulful purpose.

I have collaborated with artists, healers, doula, tribal consultant, community organizers, change makers, project curator, therapists, and other meaning-makers.

Together we envision, map, court the muse, kindle, gather, discern, and let go, for an aesthetic voyage that develops the unique culture of your offering.

DESIRE FOR FIRE
I deeply listen to your sacred vision, asking questions for greater understanding to be revealed to both of us. This is where we establish and root your fire's essence and whom you want to share your offering with.

PLACING THE STONES
We begin shaping a supportive and pragmatic framework, holding the intentions of our desired outcome with the right amount of let-go to allow emergent creativity to flow.

GATHERING KINDLING
We work with right proportion in gathering information and shaping story; not too little and not too much in order to neither starve nor suffocate the vision.

TENDING FLAMES
I guide you through every step; growing your vision with both breath and wood, keeping intentions steady on the original essence until the hearthfire has reached the right size.

Under the guidance of the constellations, a good hearth gathers those ready for a story that heals, encourages, and warms our hearts to dream a good future together.

THE HEARTH MAKER
+ about me +
As an intuitive artist and writer, I believe our cultural liberation and healing rests in attuning to who we intrinsically are and uncovering our soul's work, individually and communally.
I have worked in the fields of supporting Indigenous lifeways and rights, environmental activism, community organizing, conflict resolution, decolonization awareness, and cultural regeneration. I have studied art as a way of understanding and exploring the significant narratives that shape our world throughout time, while contributing my own art to the wisdom and interconnection that I feel is coming more alive in our contemporary time. Expressing our soul gifts are a way of diverging from systemic complicity and conformity to offer something of greater substance to help liberate and energize the world our hearts know is possible. The path is a courageous one to journey into the gifts of your deepest and truest self.
I live and work, while communing in the wilderness to connect deeply with the ecosystem of this existence and my inherent place with it. There, I listen, watch, feel, and remember. You will find that I utilize earthen color palettes and symbolism to follow the natural patterns and stories that are true to our organic belonging. This weaves into the design work, aesthetic shaping, and guidance that I offer here at Hearthfire Design Studio.
Sweet regards,
Melle
