Ingomma’s founder, CEO, and Creative Director Melina Salomon

Summary: The world can be a very dull place if you let the status quo remain. Ingomma’s founder, CEO, and Creative Director Melina Salomon is a multidisciplinary Industrial Designer who learned the design trade in Brazil. Melina saw that the imagination and appetite for different ideas were flat. People were making safe choices and taking conventional paths. Like a true innovator, she tried her first invention on herself, designing and wearing accessories made from rubber but using a new fabrication technique. A Kickstarter campaign followed, where she found 300 other like-minded people who subscribed to her campaign and bought her accessories. This was early validation that this new material could become a business. In 2015, she filed a provisional patent introducing Ingomma technology and materials to serve a new B2B market of consumer product designers. She is driven by the opportunity of the new method she has patented and collaborations she can offer to her peers in the fashion trade. Melina’s role in leading the company is both practical in terms of business strategy, product development and execution, and thought leadership.<br><br>Contact Info: <a href="mailto:mtsalomon@yahoo.com.br">mtsalomon@yahoo.com.br</a>
