Leaders tell me all the time…
that they’re under the gun to get their brilliant teams to innovate quickly in a race with the competition. These employees are so laser-focused on the tech that they often doubt their creativity.
Just like you, they need breakthrough innovation—and fast. They need to..
Hi! I’m Melissa. I transform “impossible” into reality.
I used to believe I wasn’t creative. Yet, every “impossible” I’ve pursued has become a reality.
At 16, I took my first dance class with a dream of attending Juilliard. Three years later, I was in. In my late 20s, I picked up calligraphy and envisioned an art career. Within a year, I landed my first client and thrived as a calligrapher/artist in Silicon Valley for 15 years. At 39, I dreamed of singing jazz. A year later, I was performing across the SF Bay Area.
From performing for 6,000 people at Arco Arena to writing an acclaimed book on creativity, my journey has been about transforming impossibilities into realities. I’ve toured as a calligraphy teacher and singer/songwriter, led creativity retreats globally, and even taken up the double bass.
But what truly fulfills me is helping others create their own “impossibles,” especially in creativity and innovation. My unique background – including degrees from UC Berkeley (Phi Beta Kappa) and the University of Birmingham, England – has shaped a system that unlocks innate creativity, even in the most analytical minds.
I’ve collaborated with top teams at companies like Facebook, Google, Uber, and Salesforce, using my accessible framework to assist stressed-out leaders under tight deadlines. The result? A culture where breakthrough innovations become the norm, boosting job satisfaction and enhancing team communication and collaboration.

I really enjoyed meeting with you beforehand to go over our school culture. The message you shared was really relevant to our students—we need to build in more time for creative play into our lives so it feels more real and less like a luxury. The message is incredibly important, especially for students so focused on getting good grades that they forget creative play can help them succeed in life.

This presentation inspired me to allow myself more time to create for me, and balance that with what my customers want. The knowledge I’ve gained from this presentation is a lesson I’ll take with me wherever I go.
