Melissa & Doug

From her earliest days, creativity and imagination were a big part of Melissa’s life. Outgoing Doug made friends easily thanks to his playful sense of humor and infectious energy. Raised by educators, the young couple knew in their early 20’s they wanted to create meaningful products for children. Melissa and Doug take pride in conceptualizing every product at their offices in Connecticut, hand-making each prototype until they get it just right, before bringing them to the factory for production. Melissa and Doug are thrilled when their friends call to tell them they were just on the television show Jeopardy! However, their joy turns to sorrow when no one gets the correct answer, which is “Who is Doug?” They know there’s more work to be done!
