Associate Creative Director
When Mel walks into a thrift shop she usually finds hidden gems, but when she walked into C+C, she became one. Mel is a creative powerhouse with strong visual instincts and extensive experience in art direction, production, storyboarding, and illustration, with lots of quippy copywriting in between. Clients like ENERGY STAR, Google, Ameresco, and Energy Trust of Oregon love her versatile style and strokes of genius in brainstorming. Together, the last two qualities make her the perfect secret weapon for any project, especially if it involves dogs in a photoshoot but, hey – that’s a different story.
