Led by principal designer Melissa Shine, Shine & Co has been creating luxury residential spaces across the country for nearly two decades.

Melissa’s work is layered and architectural, balancing clean lines, rich textures, thoughtful scale, and subtle moments of surprise to create homes that feel rooted in the authentic spirit of the people who inhabit them.

Melissa believes the most successful spaces begin with understanding how her clients want to feel in their homes — calm, inspired, grounded, connected — and every design decision is guided by that emotional foundation.

From custom new builds to full-home renovation and furnishing projects, Melissa works closely with homeowners, architects, builders, and artisans to create spaces marked by beauty, continuity, and enduring craftsmanship. Her ten years on staff with one of Denver’s premier design + build firms has given her unique insight into combining the creative vision of design with the practicality of construction into a process that feels truly seamless for her clients.

Melissa earned her BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design where her studies in art history, fashion, and multidisciplinary design shaped her intuitive understanding of composition, materiality, and atmosphere. She continues to draw inspiration from unexpected sources, and delights in traveling the world in search of new ideas & perspectives to bring home to her projects. When she’s not traveling, you can find Melissa exploring the mountain west with her husband and their sheep-a-doodle Stanley. Or rearranging her own living room for the 400th time. At midnight. Of course.
