Robb Melancon Designs

Inlay art, custom guitars, original music and exotic plants, made in North Carolina. Robb spent his career as a software engineer and his nights and weekends making things. Once the robots were happy to take the day job, he retired early and went all in on the rest.

How it connects

The frogs came first

From the early 1990s through the late 2000s, Robb was one of the largest poison dart frog breeders in the US, specializing in the egg-feeding species.

Keeping frogs meant finding plants that thrive in a small glass box, which led to orchids and tropicals. Years later the same frogs turned up again, cut into wood.
