Melissa grew up right outside of New York City and has always been drawn to both the glamour and the business aspects of the fashion world. However, as a 5’10” woman, the sizing inconsistencies among brands seem to make every shopping trip a challenge and often end in unnecessary frustration. She’s tried on many pairs of pants marked “Long,” only to find that they barely made it past her knees. She would constantly gripe to others, thinking she was the only one affected by these sizing inaccuracies, and quickly realized that everyone has his or her own version of a shopping nightmare. These frustrations, coupled with her entrepreneurial spirit, inspired her to start a business to solve a variety of sizing problems associated with shopping for clothing online.
Melissa began to develop Size Wand® as a business major at UNC-Chapel Hill. She teamed up fellow business major Jessica Crowell and entered the Carolina Challenge business plan competition. The business plan: a comparative sizing system to help women and men of different shapes, sizes, and heights easily find their correct size. They won the competition and since then have been working to bring this product to market and solve the sizing problem for billions of shoppers.
Jessica began her first business at age 12 selling crafts at a local mall to pay for visits to grandparents and help save for college. In high school, she and a friend started their own catering business, Elegant Eats. During this venture, she developed a talent for partnering with her customers to achieve mutual goals. As a sophomore at the University of North Carolina, Jessica started her own house-painting business. In just five months, she learned the technical aspects of the industry, invested in capital, hired employees, marketed her services, and operated a very profitable business. During her junior year of college Jessica spent 6 months in Sydney, Australia taking business courses and working for the US Commercial Service, a department of the International Trade Administration.
While living abroad, Jessica began to grasp the vast and growing implications that online shopping could have on everyday life. As a busy young woman, she does a lot of her own shopping online and would love to purchase more of her clothes via the internet. However, even after measuring herself and using a variety of sizing charts, she has yet to successfully purchase a pair of pants online. When she and Melissa discovered their mutual passion for solving this problem, they founded Size Me Up, Inc. She wholeheartedly believes that her generation will be buying a significant amount of their clothing online, and that Size Wand® is just the solution that she and many of her friends are seeking.
