One of falling head over heels for flowers.
A journey of embracing their colors, shades, shapes, scents, and textures—driven by passion and devotion.
Endlessly marveling at Nature’s gifts, I play with palettes, nuances, gradients, materials, textures, and fragrances.
Ñusta is also about spreading softness and delicacy, exalting each and every one of your emotions through the language of flowers.
With a keen eye for detail and deep sensitivity, I place my perception at your service.
Behind Ñusta is Melissa.
Ñusta, originally a cherished nickname from younger years spent on the American continent, is also a Quechua word that means princess—once used for the noble daughters of the Inca Empire. In the Pachamama tradition, the ñusta symbolizes the sacred, untouched earth, a vital part of offerings made to honor Mother Earth.
As if meant to be, naming the studio Ñusta felt like coming full circle—deeply personal, profoundly meaningful.
Highly attuned to Nature and Art, I draw inspiration from observing and capturing the colors, scents, sounds, landscapes, and movements that shape everyday beauty.
Rooted in my Mediterranean heritage and deeply in love with my beautiful hometown, I dream of making Ñusta a garden of light and delicacy.
A garden open to all, just like this lush cocoon I grew up in among jasmines, bougainvillea and orange trees.
