ABOUT — Mel Riggs

Hey there — I'm Mel.

A big-idea machine with fourteen years in the creative trenches, partnering with powerhouse brands and purpose-driven organizations alike. I’ve danced across disciplines, crafted culture-shaping campaigns, and led with heart — bringing authenticity and originality to everything I touch.

Mentoring up-and-coming creatives is something I’m passionate about — helping them find their voice and push the boundaries of what’s possible.

My client list? Let’s just say it spans from Fortune 500s to cultural icons — Target, Google Play, The United State of Women (a Barack Obama White House initiative), Coke Studios, Krispy Kreme, Nissan, UGG Australia... and the list keeps going.

Rooted in Swiss heritage (shoutout to precision and clean lines) and raised in bourbon country, I blend thoughtful design with fearless storytelling. Whether it's broadcast, social, experiential, or somewhere in the whitespace between — I bring clarity, craft, and a little magic.

These days, I’m based in the Midwest, but my weekends are all about getting messy — dyes, clay, looms, and the boundless imagination of my four-year-old creative partner-in-crime. Check out some projects on my craft website.
