Melissa Galt

Designer, Author and Life Coach Melissa Galt empowers audiences to trade a self-limiting “default” existence for an exuberant life lived “by design” — where it is truly possible to have it ALL.

Melissa is the great-granddaughter of Frank Lloyd Wright — the iconic American architect who believed “the space within becomes the reality of the building.” Melissa helps audiences tap into their own inner architect and use that “space within” (core values, dreams, and desires) to design and build an exhilarating new reality. Leaving audiences ready to re-ignite careers, improve relationships at home and at work, remake their image, enhance health and well-being and enjoy signature lives with time and money for family, travel, adventure, entertaining and pastimes.

Often referred to as America’s Lifestyle Diva, Melissa has mastered the “architect attitude” to build one of the Southeast’s most successful interior design firms and business coaching practices. Melissa delivers unique self and business-improvement programs that use the principles of interior design — architect, design, build and decorate — to inspire audiences to live not “by default”, but “by design”.

Melissa is a noted author and her newest book, Celebrate Your Life! The Art of Celebrating Every Day was published in 2006. She is a contributing author to Live Every Day Motivated, Successful and Happy and the newly released 101 Ways to Self Improvement, vol. 3. Melissa has been featured in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Atlanta Business Chronicle, Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles, Southern Living and Better Homes and Gardens, to name but a few. She has also appeared on national and local television talk shows. Her new Atlanta-based radio show, The Art Full Life, Melissa invites listeners to find the art in every day through interviews with artists, gallery owners and collectors.

Melissa’s “design not default” approach to life was inspired not only by her great-grandfather Frank Lloyd Wright, but by the single, working mother who raised her — the late Academy Award-winning actress Anne Baxter — as well as her godmother, legendary Hollywood costume designer Edith Head, who believed the secret to being anything you wanted was to “dress the part!”

Melissa Galt’s one-of-a-kind keynotes and workshops are packed with inspiration, joy, and practical tips audiences remember long after the programs have ended.
