SKILLS
ABOUT MELANIE CRITTENDEN
Hi, I’m Mel—a creative professional with a Master\'s in Architecture and expertise in set design for event production. In 2022, I transitioned from architecture to events, joining Rizer, a boutique production agency, where I oversee projects from creative strategy to execution for premium brands. Drawing on my architectural background, I design interiors and installations that define the creative impact of an event, from it\'s stage and lighting design to furniture design, artwork and show direction. I thrive on collaborating with clients and production teams to bring ideas to life with precision, creativity, and quality. Starting in February, I’ll be based in Manhattan and actively seeking opportunities in experiential/event design in an Art Director or Creative role. While I’m ideally looking for full-time roles, I’m also open to contract work (and yes, I’m a US citizen!). If you have any leads, connections, or would like to meet for a coffee once I’m in town, I’d love to hear from you.
