Melanie Fitzwilliam began her career in design whilge completeing her degree at the University of Utah. She became intrigued with creating original designs in beautiful colored and clear leaded glass. Always captivated with the sight of sunlight through colored glass, she explores many interesting styles of expression. She uses both traditional methods of lead came assembly for her windows and copper foil for more detailed and curved pieces. Her strong point is in working with her clients to help them discover what they would enjoy most in a window highlight of stained glass, or skylight, or entranceway.
