Our Story
Melissa was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, and has lived in Houston since 1999. As a single mother, Melissa Gael went to law school while raising her only son, Nathan, all by herself. After law school, she launched a successful legal practice, and eventually, adopted quite a few adorable poodles. The latter truly helped her to form her vision, and that became the inspiration for Melissa Gael Designs.
