CSRtist; Melissa Schweyer

Hi and welcome to CSRtist.com. My name is Melissa Schweyer and I’m a CSR "artist" who’s passionate about inspiring effective corporate good.

Unlike a conventional artist, I don’t really paint, take photography or create music, but I do develop thoughts, ideas and new ways of thinking about corporations and how they can make a positive impact on our world. I also draw inspiration from others’ concepts, opinions, designs and examples of effective and meaningful corporate social impact.
