STUDIO MILEVA

We build what others can’t replicate — brand identity, marketing infrastructure, and strategic partnerships engineered for founders who intend to lead their category.

The Studio Behind Iconic Wellness & Lifestyle Brands.

Most agencies give a piece of the puzzle. Studio Mileva gives you the whole picture.

We work alongside wellness and lifestyle founders to build brands that are strategically sound, visually elevated, and commercially unstoppable - from day one positioning to full-scale market expansion.

“We build cult brands through

intentional strategy,

full-stack marketing, and

experiences that move people.”

Meet the Founder

Melissa Russell built Studio Mileva on a single conviction: that the most powerful brands in wellness are built with equal parts creative vision and commercial strategy.

With 15 years of experience spanning brand strategy, marketing leadership, and experiential production, Melissa works with founders and growing companies to close the gap between where their brand is where it deserves to be. Her approach is full-stack meaning she doesn’t just hand you a logo and wish you luck. She builds the strategy, shapes the marketing, identifies the right partnerships, and produces the experiences that turn a brand into a movement.

As a founder herself, Melissa brings a rare perspective, the clarity of a strategist and the instincts of someone who has built from the ground up. She understands what it takes to carve out a distinct position in a crowded market, and she knows exactly how to help you do it.

Studio Mileva serves wellness and lifestyle brands across Kansas City, Los Angeles, San Diego, Miami, New York, and Austin.
