MELINA KEMPH

Hi- I’m Melina, a freelance creative artist who has worn many hats in both the fashion & food media spaces over the last 19 years. Originally a journalism student with the dream of becoming a food critic, I switched my major to retail marketing, and found my passion in visual storytelling.  My first focus was exclusively in fashion styling, but food + prop styling quickly followed. My skill set spans a wide range of creative production including styling and art direction, to creative production, model casting, location scouting, recipe testing, curating on-set talent, as well as social strategy. 

My approach to every project is collaborative which is very important to me. My aesthetic is influenced + inspired by my love for menswear, collegiate sports, cultural history, art, music, and sharing a meal with my community...oftentimes served on a colorful plate or bowl thrown in my ceramic studio, Honey Lain. 

I’ve never believed in staying in one lane and I'm always on the lookout for the next creative venture. Let's collaborate soon!
