My Story

My fashion and retail journey began early when I worked for my parents in their businesses. Making lolly bags for the Milk Bar (Deli if you are from Western Australia!!) jumping off the truck to deliver milk for my Mum's milk round. Entrepreneurship is in my blood!
I was a High School Maths and Science Teacher, Swimming Instructor and also a Personal trainer so have been refining my coaching and teaching skills for many years.
Every single experience and failure and mistake has helped provide the years I can draw on now to guide you.  

Starting back into fashion I created, designed, plotted world domination with my sister Jennie as children's fashion brand- Moppit. This lead to multiple retail stores and selling our brand around the world in department stores, boutiques from London to Spain to NY and back again. 
After many years the business was sold and I time spent time working in  Australian fashion brand head offices learning the corporate side of things too.. 
I have now worked with over 500 brands from Damselfly, Nancybird,, Second Scout Marmoset Found,  Karina Jambrak, Klipsta, Lula Eye mask, Bettyquette,  and many more. 
From fashion, art, ceramics, footwear, candles and so many things in between!!

Just wanted to let you know how incredibly valuable both the business review and the retail overhaul has been. I can’t thank you enough. And… the journey has just begun! I’m looking forward to continuing working with you as an official client over the next 12 months.

- Alana LEUNG, AWAKENED WITH ALANA

Before working with Melissa I was brand new in the business world and had no real direction in where I wanted to go. After our session with her I walked away with absolute clarity on how I am going to move forward, what I need to execute and how to effectively communicate my brand message. I would highly recommend Thelotco if you are new to the business world or want to restyle or revamp your existing brand!

wow! i walked away with absolute clarity and direction in super quick 3 hour session!
