Hola! I’m Melva Rodas, a bilingual communications specialist and creative marketer with a background in journalism and a deep love for storytelling through fashion and creative expression.

I’ve worked across wellness, education, media, and style, always putting people at the center. Whether I’m building content strategies, managing campaigns, or styling someone for a shoot, I care about telling stories that feel real, honest, and human.

Based in New York and California, I’m available for freelance or full-time opportunities in content strategy, communications, and creative project management.

  • "Working with Melva was such a joy! I’m a singer-songwriter, and she styled me for a branding photoshoot. She brought three stunning outfits, each of which aligned beautifully with my mood board. One of the highlights for me was the attention her attention to detail, especially the accessories. She noticed that florals are a key part of my visual identity and brought an amazing pair of floral earrings that look amazing in the finished product. Melva helped me get dressed, made sure the looks stayed polished throughout the shoot, and offered gentle, helpful guidance on how to pose, especially with my hands, which I really appreciated as someone who’s not a professional model. She was so kind, professional, and thoughtful about my body type, making me feel safe in the space. I felt beautiful and confident. I can’t recommend her services enough!"

  • "Working with Melva has always felt like a true creative partnership. She brings a strong point of view as a stylist, and knows how to adapt it to the needs of the client and the overall concept. Every time we’ve collaborated, whether on editorial projects or creative branding shoots, she’s had a clear vision, but remained open to a beauty perspective that enhances the final image. Melva’s taste is refined, and her approach always considers how each detail (clothing, accessories, beauty) contributes to a cohesive narrative. Beyond styling, she’s also supported me as a consultant during my personal brand shoot, helping refine the visual direction with intention and care. She’s a team player, but also a visionary and that balance makes her a strong asset on any set."

  • "My personal experience working with Melva on fashion projects has been a truly enriching experience. Her eye for detail, aesthetic sensitivity, and innate creativity set her apart in the world of styling. She has a unique ability to mix textures, colors, and silhouettes in a way that’s not only visually striking but also authentic. She always brings a fresh and innovative perspective while honoring the essence of each project or client. Her style is bold yet refined, and her intuition for storytelling through clothing is simply admirable. A true artist of wardrobe—every session with her feels like a new story to say."
