For more than two decades, Melissa Rayworth has been exploring the building blocks of modern life -- the ways we design and live in our homes, how we interact with entertainment and pop culture in our marketing-saturated society, how we parent and love and lead, and much more -- as a writer for regional, national and global media outlets. She's also an experienced managing editor of online and print magazines, and works privately with clients to help them discover and use their personal stories to elevate their lives.

After several years living and working in Asia, Melissa currently splits her time between New York and Pittsburgh.
