RICHARD MELLON

I was brought up on the West Coast of South Africa where sunny days, salty hair and cool water fostered a sense of fun and adventure that remains an integral part of who I am.After school I received training in the culinary arts, which taught me to perform skillfully under pressure and as part of a highly codependent team. This training allowed me to work my way across Europe where I discovered what I later found to be a rare, but important component of the best of these teams: Having fun while working hard. I have since managed the Kitesurfing World Tour and their international media platforms for 4 years until finally settling back in Cape Town. I found production the perfect fit to allow me to work and travel in an exciting and rewarding field. I have spent over two decades working with so many wonderfully creative and dedicated people – learning and sharing and travelling with these incredible men and women remains one of the greatest blessings I have received. I am very grateful to be able to continue this journey the Just Us way.
