Offering Colour Analysis in Madison, WI
From running a bead store in college to working in interior design, fiber arts, and making jewelry, my love of fashion, design, and color runs deep. When I had my own color analysis done after being a stay-at-home-mom, my love of all of the above was reinvigorated. I felt seen and like I had permission to focus on myself again. And to wear lipstick! My life will forever be positively changed.
Being an avid knitter, discovering my best colors and styles has also brought more joy and focus to my knitting practice. I'm passionate about guiding fellow fiber artists on the path to more intentional and mindful knitting; focusing on what serves their unique self and not current trends or fads to keep up with.
I am honored to be able help folks embrace their best colors and styles through science - and fun! It's extra special to be a part of someone's self-discovery journey; to witness when they see themselves revealed in a new way and to notice the magic that was always within them.
A safe space for all genders and LGBTQ+ folks.

Get dressed every day with purpose, ease, and JOY! A color analysis provides you with life-changing information. Using precision-dyed drapes and my extensive training I will prove to you the value of knowing your season; a palette of colors customized to your unique undertones. We apply this information to women, men, and children of all races, ethnicities, and genders. Your season will never change so this is information you can carry with you for a lifetime.
There are three parts to every color session. First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and when applicable: hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup products will take the guesswork out of choosing colors that highlight your natural beauty. Finally, we'll dive further into your season and choose the best colors for your casual and professional life, discovering your list of WOW colors.
You will leave your appointment with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a brochure full of tips and reminders specific to you that you can reference later to make shopping and wearing your new colors a confident experience!
You should arrive at your analysis free of spray tans and makeup for optimal accuracy. No pictures will be taken without permission, nor are they shared on social media without your consent.
I strive to create an experience tailored to each individual's needs. If non-binary, rest assured I am very comfortable speaking about gender non-conformity and happily welcome you!
I can't wait to have you in my color chair to discover what colors will make you look your BEST and bring confidence to each clothing choice you make!

My daughter and I did our colour analysis sessions with Melissa and it was an incredibly uplifting and fun experience. Melissa went out of her way to make us feel so comfortable and welcome in her home. I will admit that as a visual artist I was skeptical about how much more I would learn about colour but I was pleasantly surprised by the insight I gained about what colors suited me. The experience of the silk draping is absolutely transformative! I now have a guidebook for what to wear, how to make wiser purchases when shopping for clothing, knitting projects and makeup moving forward. I can’t recommend colour analysis with Melissa highly enough!

Since having my color analysis done, I’ve found myself skipping clothing purchases I would have usually made and feeling great about it! I look at the color available for a shirt and if I know it won’t make me look my best, I now skip it. Color Analysis has saved me both money and the stress of the indecision of any clothing purchase. I feel better equipped to make ideal decisions about my wardrobe when I look at clothes. I work from home 99% of the time, but recently had to go in to the office for a meeting in-person. When choosing my clothes for that meeting, I found myself choosing a color I knew would look best to feel my most confident with my peers. I feel really good and confident in my colors and loved the way I looked for my rare in-person work day!
