I'm Megan, a graphic designer, art director and creative director with over 13 years of experience in small studios and high-growth startups. I thrive on bold, unconventional design solutions across branding, typography, web design, packaging, campaigns, photography and more, always focusing on user-centered results and brand elevation. Friends and family describe me as expressive and a wordsmith who loves storytelling. I’m organized, a touch of a perfectionist, and deeply passionate about creating. I collect old cameras, love plants and nature, and I lean into an industrial modern maximalist vibe while keeping a professional, collaborative approach to every project.
