My name is Tyler Riewer. I’m the Creative Director at charity: water.

charity: water is a $100M nonprofit organization rooted in innovation and transparency.

We use data and storytelling to connect donors to their impact and dream up new ways to think about sustainability in the water sector.

As of today, we’ve funded 171,469 projects to bring clean and safe water to 19,151,855 people around the world.

MY ROLE

I lead a brilliant team of designers and storytellers who are working hard to reinvent charity. I also have the incredible privilege of traveling the globe capturing stories about our local partners and the people they serve.

A LITTLE CONTEXT

I studied Advertising and Journalism at the University of Nebraska and then kicked off my career at a youth marketing agency called Archrival, writing copy for brands like Red Bull, Hormel, and Pabst Brewing Company.

Years later, I made a Lewis-and-Clark-esque-journey out to the Pacific Northwest and found a new home at Grady Britton, creating content for local favorites like Bob’s Red Mill, Dave’s Killer Bread, Travel Portland, and Nike.

In 2013, I made an even bigger jump from for-profit to nonprofit and joined the charity: water team in New York City.

Today, I live (and work remotely) from the Washington, D.C. area with my wife and two sons.
