Hi, I’m Melly - the face behind @dearmellyrose. I’m a social media manager and photographer with over 10 years of experience bringing brands to life through thoughtful, story-driven content. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working with a wide range of brands - from small, heart-led businesses who needed direction navigating this ever changing but very important side of business to established and rapidly growing companies - offering full-service photography, content creation, influencer marketing, email marketing, UGC, and comprehensive social media management.

I was born and raised in Oceanside, California, I still live locally and growing up here has truly shaped me into who I am today. I’m also a mama to an almost two-year-old, which has only deepened my appreciation for slow, intentional living and meaningful connection - both in life and in my work. When I’m not creating, you’ll usually find me with my little family on a walk by the ocean or tending to my garden.

Creativity isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am. I truly live and breathe the creative process. I wake up inspired, constantly dreaming up new ideas, and feel incredibly grateful that this passion is the work I get to do every day. I can’t wait to bring that same energy, intention, and creativity to your brand.
