Founder & Principal at Bespoke Only

Melissa Lee founded Bespoke Only in 2012. Drawing on her multicultural upbringing, academic background in psychology, and former career in luxury goods, Lee brings an exceptionally layered quality and depth to her practice. Based in Brooklyn, she bridges the human psyche and design on an emotional level, perceiving each space as a living, evolving entity shaped through intimate interactions over time. As an immigrant and first-generation American, she creates work marked by an earnest sense of belonging and acceptance.
