Melinda Keough is an art director
and illustrator based in Los Angeles.

Hello! Thank you for visiting. I am a CD/Art Director based in Los Angeles. A New Yorker, by way of New Jersey, I never thought I’d love Southern California this much. Avocados! Sunshine And the ability to credibly wear boots in 60º weather.

Over my 16 years in advertising I’ve had the great pleasure to work on brands large and
small notably Apple and Pepsi. My work has been recognized by all the major award
shows including a Cannes Press Grand Prix. My specialty is creating simple, clear ideas
that invite a conversation between brand and consumer.

Currently I am freelance and split my time between advertising and illustration projects.
If you'd like to discuss a project or a collaboration please write me.
I’d love to hear from you!
