Your host
I’m Melissa, founder of MÈLI, a creative gathering space in Mar Vista, Los Angeles, built around a simple idea: we need more reasons to get together in real life.
After years of working in the beauty industry, bringing brands, ideas, and people together, I found myself craving more opportunities for genuine connection closer to home. I wanted to create the kind of place I was always looking for myself—somewhere you could come with a friend or arrive on your own, learn something new, meet interesting people, and leave feeling a little more connected.
That idea became MÈLI.
Today, MÈLI brings together talented local artists, makers, teachers, and experts to lead intimate workshops and experiences—from Mahjong and watercolor to calligraphy, pottery, wellness, movement, and more. I love discovering people who are passionate about what they do and giving them a beautiful, welcoming space to share it with others.
For me, the experience is about more than learning a new skill. It’sI’m Melissa, founder of MÈLI, a creative gathering space in Mar Vista, Los Angeles, built around a simple idea: we need more reasons to get together in real life.

For me, the experience is about more than learning a new skill. It’s about gathering around a table, trying something you might not normally try, having great conversations, and creating a little space for yourself in the middle of a busy life.
MÈLI is intentionally small and personal. We want you to feel less like you’ve signed up for a class and more like you’ve been invited to something special.
Come curious. Come with friends. Or come on your own—you’ll have people to meet when you get here. + more
