Brownstone Designs

Melinda Brownstone was born in Los Angeles, California. Her parents made the move from East to West shortly before she was born. Her mother was a fine artist, of Hamlin-LaTourette Studios. Her father is a skilled musician, craftsman and mathematician. Being surrounded by the arts from an early age, she naturally developed a high affinity for the creative. She worked as a landscape designer in the early 90's and progressed into home design over a decade ago. She was formally trained in landscape artistry, as well as working in a nursery for several years under the tutelage of an Italian landscape designer. As a designer, whether for a home, garden or event, her goal is to help the client realize his or her goal of comfort and beauty. She believes in working with the client's creative sensibilities, not overpowering them.
