The WaWF collective is a wealth of knowledge, experience, perspective, and expertise. We’re excited to unveil a new Member focused series: Member 2 Member, where members are invited to nominate their fellow members to present on a subject with which they hold special proficiency or expertise.

Join us Monday, August 5th at 3:30PM to hear from one of WaWF’s newer members, Mellicia Marx, about her company Poplin Style Direction, and the work of leadership and coaching women through style + fashion. The conversation will be moderated by Karen Jones, another wonderful WaWF member and friend.

Mellicia Marx is the owner and operator of Poplin Style Direction, a Seattle-based company that provides full service personal styling for women with easy access via your computer or mobile device. Prior to that, her career spanned several locations and industries including substantial time working in nonprofits, public service and a stint for the UN Population Fund focused on maternal mortality and HIV in Guatemala. Mellicia has a Masters in Public Administration and the common thread throughout her career is creative problem solving and building something out of nothing, always with an eye toward intentionality and ensuring that her actions align with her values. Outside of work, she has volunteered in various capacities for as long as she can remember, creating small nonprofits, serving on boards and a string of random opportunities to give back when the opportunity struck. She has been married to the same amazing man for over 16 years and they have an equally incredible 13 year old son and reside in Seattle, WA.
