"She is fast to catch on, needs little guidance to execute well, and is extremely thorough in her delivery, accounting for all sorts of edge cases beyond the requirements. She is highly collaborative and consistently synthesizes better than I've expected from any design ask."
I’m a digital product designer who enjoys making digital experiences easier and funner to use.

From people I've worked with
"Megan is one of those designers that can tackle any problem with both critical thinking and poise.

I will always recommend Megan for any job, knowing that she has the natural talent and drive to produce great work at any level."

My background
- I grew up in Southern California, a colorful, dusty, sun-baked, and sprawling land of many things: farmer's markets, cultural diversity, deliciously dry winds, strip malls, street tacos, and access to mountain, sea, and desert.
- My first digital design tool was Microsoft Word, where as a kid, I spent hours meticulously designing holiday and birthday cards for family members.
- My first classic design tool was Adobe InDesign, which I used to design print newspapers as a managing editor of the high school newspaper.
- I've always been a fan of using technology in unexpected ways. As the Media Manager of the high school yearbook, I used a GoPro and motion monitor to incorporate video links and motion statistics from our school's sports teams into the yearbook.
