CONTENT CREATOR

Hi, I’m Megan

Your brand and web designer!

My creative process is rooted in effective simplicity

My approach is simple, intentional, and rooted in the belief that your brand should look like the work behind it. I take time to get to know you and your audience so every design choice earns its place — no fluff, no filler, just visuals that feel unmistakably yours.

Inspired By...

Mid-century modern

Big fan of minimal mid-century modern interior design styles with geometric patterns, pops of color and mixed wood tones. I find myself adding interior design styles into mood boards for branding projects and referencing interior design even in the digital space.

Europe Architecture

Every trip to Europe leaves me in awe of the architecture, the intricate details, the artistic flourishes, the way centuries-old buildings still stand with such rustic grace. It never fails to inspire my design work.

Film & Grain Photography

Film and grain photography inspire my brand and web work too, there’s something about the imperfection, the texture, the way light catches grain instead of looking too polished. It reminds me that a little rawness makes design feel human, not manufactured.

How it all started...

Every business has an origin story, but mine doesn't start in a boardroom or a business plan. It starts with a teenage girl, an article in a magazine, and a constant pull in the creative direction.

What came after was years of following that pull — a semester abroad, a college degree, being brave enough to share my journey online, a first job at a marketing agency that turned into a career, and eventually the leap into building something of my own. None of it was linear, and honestly? That's kind of the best part.

Here are a few of the moments that got me here.

2008
The Spark

I was 15, flipping through my sister’s Seventeen magazine, when I landed on an article about graphic design. Something clicked. I didn’t have the words for it yet, but I knew I was going to end up here.

2014
Living Abroad

Six months living abroad. It pushed me way out of my comfort zone and cracked open a whole new way of seeing — color, type, storytelling, everything.

2016
The Degree

Graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno with a BA in Visual Communications. Landed a job at a local marketing agency as a project manager, then quickly shifted into design once they saw where I actually lit up.

2017
Met My Person

Met Samar 🙂 He was one of the first people I told about wanting to build something of my own and one of the first to believe I actually could. We got married in 2025 in Sedona, Arizona and there is no else I would rather do life with!

2020
The Leap

Took my business full-time after years of building it on the side. Scary, messy, and hands-down the best decision I’ve ever made. Also the moment I realized I was building something that could actually go the distance.

2024
