MELISSA YBARRA

In addition to art licensing, Melissa launched her own collection of women's & children's sleepwear, under her Iza Pearl Design label. Her products feature her delightful prints and patterns and her signature daring color combinations. Melissa managed all stages of design, branding, and manufacturing. She has worked with both domestic and international suppliers to bring her designs to life and into the marketplace-both direct-to-consumer and wholesale. Through this venture, Melissa has honed her skills in branding across all platforms, art direction, product manufacturing, merchandising, sourcing, and of course, design... Specializing in graphic & surface design combined with the experience gained from launching her own brand, Melissa has developed and refined a vast and versatile skill set. Her fresh approach to design and concepting, coupled with her craftiness and wicked sense of humor makes the pefect combo to work with…sort of like a good pile of nachos and a margarita!
