OUR TEAM

Melissa Sills Schreiber, Owner

Dirt and Designs, LLC, was founded in 2015 after leaving the corporate world to turn a passion into a profession.

 

"I’m a plant-nerd with a solid background in business operations and finance. My talent for problem solving and project management is now coupled with my ability to envision functional and beautiful outdoor spaces. With intentional design, my goal is to inspire a deeper connection with nature and to gift my clients a place of solace.

 

My personal life is very much centered around my family. We have two wildlings and a lovely homestead in Dripping Springs. We enjoy exploring, adventures, and silly times." - melissa
