Selamat datang, friend! I’m Melati.
Born in Indonesia and raised in a small California town, I’m a hippie flower child who needs a whole chili with almost every meal.
Nothing thrills me more than a good story. Whether it’s on-the-ground reporting, in-studio editorial shoots, or documenting a wedding ceremony, I aim to unearth the strange and beautiful.
