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.
