Today I am joined by Melinda Spigel, founder and designer of Melinda Maria Jewelry. Melinda shares how she built her brand from the ground up by connecting and empowering women through her social media platform and “converse-couture” designs. Melinda Maria has attracted A-listers, boss babes, and moms from all over the world.
On this episode, hear how Melinda’s take on how she built her business, keeps her brand relevant, and how she still keeps grinding even after all her success.
I really appreciate how real and authentic Melinda is in this interview, we ALL start somewhere. Her decision to become the face of the brand was born out of necessity and changing everything for her brand. I think you’ll really resonate with her story, I know I did.
