DEVA CONSULTING
I offer tailored services to individuals, artists, corporate clients, and cultural institutions, delivering innovative solutions and administrative support. With expertise spanning programming, curation, creative direction, coaching, and results-driven strategies, I bring a comprehensive approach to every project. With a special focus in performing arts and the nonprofit sector, I have the expertise to meet an array of needs pertaining to arts and culture.
I am currently the chair of The Town of Leesburg Performing Arts Commission advising the Town Council on policies that will strengthen the performing arts.
Graduating summa cum laude with a Master’s in Arts Management from The New School for Social Research, I was honored with the Social Impact Entrepreneurship Award for my project MUVA, a platform designed to create visibility and systems of support for performing artists who are mothers.
My extensive background includes over 22 countries of production experience, working with clientele to deliver tailored, impactful arts and programming productions.
As a multimedia artist and designer, my work blends creative problem solving with strategic vision, achieving solutions that inspire and empower.

What clients are saying...
Lidia Bonilla, Creative Coaching Client
"Melike is the unicorn I had been looking for more than a year. It was important to me to work with a black woman who understands the complexities of owning my voice. I love that her work is grounded in yogic breathing and spirituality. Working with her gave me the needed confidence in producing video content and being more visible. Her energy is infectious and she's so encouraging. I am looking forward to continuing my work with her."
Lauri Edwards, Production Client
"An absolutely amazing professional artist. Her elegance is undeniable. I loved connecting with her and look forward to many more connections in the future."
