Style Station

Style Station Founder, Creater, & Director since inception in 2016, Melissa Meister grew up in a loving, creative, entrepreneurial home in Connecticut. Her love of fashion, design, and the camera from a young age inevitably brought her to Los Angeles, where she worked as a Wilhelmina model and starred in memorable music videos for Madonna, Elton John, and Will Smith. Whilst modeling she launched her own apparel line called Melissa Meister Couture, which sold at Henri Bendel and Fred Segal. Several years after launching she began creating custom pieces for celebrities and musicians including Shakira and The Dixie Chicks. The success of her custom designs organically led her to be inducted into the Costume Designers Guild, where Melissa designed for award-winning independent films, prime-time networks and cable television. This included working as the US designer for the well-known film SHERLOCK HOLMES. With an eye to detail and the ability to dress any body type, Melissa and her custom design abilities were in demand by A-list celebrities. Serena Williams, Taylor Swift, John Hamm, Yara Shahidi and most recently working as the wardrobe stylist for E Entertainment’s Revenge Body are a small account of Melissa’s experience. www.melissameister.com She also styled multiple celebrity endorsed advertising campaigns for companies such as Nike, Adidas, Estee Lauder, Sony, and Omega. Once accomplishing all her goals as a celebrity stylist and designer, Melissa took a leap to build a digital media Start Up in NYC called Cameo Stars as VP of Production, where she led all aspects of producing, and on set directed all celebrity content. From 2011-2017 she was a Filmmaker & Director at Hummingbird Productions where she created treatment concept for any artist, brand, or product and execute the desired image in any type of media footage. Melissa was also an On-Camera Host & Creator at POPdrop, (2012 – Present), a weekly 5 minute virtual lifestyle magazine focused on art, fashion, health, beauty, music, and cuisine. Innately having an eye for fashion and the new found love for digital content, Melissa’s entrepreneurial spirit decided to combine her two passions – fashion/beauty and technology. She realized there wasn’t a trusted source to beauty & fashion (anymore) or an all-in-one location where everyday people can get the celebrity style experience with the trade secrets from industry professionals. And from this realization Style Station was born. Fun fact: Melissa’s first job in Los Angeles was at Coffee Bean, where one day she and a coworker combined iced coffee and hot chocolate. The drink they invented is Coffee Bean’s frozen sensation, the Ice Blended. How’s that for creativity and entrepreneurship?

By the age of 15, Nick had started a small business in a cyber cafe fixing computers for neighbors and friends, and even taught a community college course. After several years of working for a Fortune 500 technology firm, he decided to follow his passion; Consulting and Entrepreneurship. He made his way through the Real Estate and Finance industries. He worked with large lending firms and parts of government to help make digital signatures a standard in Real Estate and Finance. That work can be seen today when using any digital signature platform designed for buying and selling Real Estate. By this time, Nick had already opened and run multiple businesses and regardless of how much he loved those companies, there was still something missing. Eventually he opened Matchless IT; a technology company based in entertainment and arts. The company he built focuses on creative solutions and artistic design in all aspects of a technology implementation, no matter the industry of the clients. He has been the President & CEO of Matchless IT for the last 4 years (January 2013- Present), where he focuses on helping businesses of all sizes develop, acquire and maintain their technological needs. He has been Style Station CTO since January 2017. Today, he is a true entrepreneur. His passion to help others and build new technologies has been his driving force to continue to find ways to close the gap between technology and the arts.
