Melody “Mel” Stevens is the high-energy CEO and lead designer behind Design On A Dime Interiors—the Greater Houston studio celebrated for magazine-worthy rooms that respect the checkbook. Since opening in 2017 she’s transformed scores of kitchens, baths, and family hubs, pairing Southern warmth with fearless color to deliver “million-buck” looks on sensible budgets. Named City’s Best Interior Designer two years running (2023-24), Mel’s approach has been spotlighted in Best of Home & Garden, where she unpacked her patience-first strategy during a five-phase Lake Conroe remodel. Houston native who first honed her craft at a large remodeling firm, she now leads an all-female Dream Team that blends space-planning savvy, budget-smart sourcing, color psychology, and tight project coordination. Her horticulture training lets her extend the design story outdoors with native, drought-wise plant palettes. Off the jobsite, Mel mentors women in business, cheers at her grandkids’ games, and pens practical design tips for the DOAD blog (start with “The Power of Color in Interior Design”).
