After photography training and design studies, Melanie began her professional journey at independent agencies, working for brands such as McCafé/McDonald's. She quickly developed a passion for tackling complex topics and solving problems creatively. Since joining Havas in 2013 as Art Director, she has worked for brands such as Citroën and Reckitt Benckiser, as well as for brands across industries like healthcare and FMCG. Her work spans campaigning, 360° communication and design, earning notable recognition within the industry along the way. She draws inspiration from rabbit holes, always on the lookout for fresh perspectives. Her biggest weakness? She often gets distracted by the agency dogs – though she insists it's for the sake of her mental health.
