MELINA KEMPH

I’m Melina — a fashion, food, and lifestyle creative with over 18 years of experience shaping visual narratives for brands and talent. I specialize in building cohesive, multi-channel creative worlds through art direction, styling, and creative leadership, translating brand vision into imagery that connects across editorial, e-commerce, social, and campaign platforms.

I’ve led creative teams from concept through execution, collaborating closely with photographers, designers, producers, and post-production teams to deliver visually compelling, strategically aligned work across fashion, food, and lifestyle spaces. Collaborative by nature and strategic by design, I balance storytelling, performance insight, and craft—ensuring visuals not only inspire, but resonate and convert.

I’m also the founder of Honey Lain Studios, a handcrafted ceramics practice rooted in color, texture, and community—born from my love of cooking, gathering, and sharing meals with my people!
