JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —
In honor of Black Business Month, we’re spotlighting a trailblazer whose innovative approach is transforming the world of wearable art. Meet Melissa A. Mitchell, the visionary behind ABL Creations.
She founded ABL creations in 2019, and it’s more than just a design house, it's a journey into the world of art through apparel.
Each collection is released in limited quantities, adding a sense of exclusivity and preserving the unique value of her designs.
Mitchell’s artistry goes beyond the fabric. Her mission is to educate and inspire through her creations, fostering hope, confidence, and awareness.
From collaborations with NASCAR, Footlocker, and Coach to partnerships with Vogue, Nike, and Ford, and most recently SHEIN, Mitchell has shown an extraordinary ability to manifest her vision on a global scale.
Her resilience and creativity are deeply personal. The loss of her father at a young age has shaped her belief in the power of perseverance.
As a Florida native, Mitchell's journey is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the endless possibilities that happen when passion meets purpose.
Mitchell's work continues to captivate hearts worldwide, making her a one-of-a-kind artist whose impact will be felt for generations.
