About

My work lives at the intersection of systems and access, creating solutions that center human dignity.

My approach is grounded in a simple philosophy: design is where empathy meets intention. I am equally invested in both the integrity of the process and the real-world impact of solutions.

Clarity

conceptual integrity

identifying the essence of a system or idea, ensuring alignment in structure, language, and intention.

Empathy

interpretive intelligence

perceiving nuance, context, and power, articulating what’s said and unsaid to guide understanding and decision-making

Dignity

impact awareness

centering access, agency, and lived experience, shaping outcomes that anticipate and serve human needs.

Collaborative by nature, I ask clarifying questions, welcome critique, and view feedback as an essential factor in my growth as a designer. I’m most energized when there’s room to think expansively. When possible, I enjoying following work from initial framing through execution—connecting early hypotheses to structure, language, and visual expression as part of a cohesive whole.


Curiosity is my co-pilot.

Testimonials

Her attention to detail would be impressive for the combined efforts of two people - for just one, it’s remarkable. If you’re looking for someone with research/design chops, or if you’re in the search for someone who’s a seamless culture fit, congratulations, you’re getting both.

Megan's ability to turn my stream-of-consciousness ideas and business goals into a cohesive and professional design strategy is a special kind of alchemy. She is a joy to work with.

She has a rare ability to stay flexible when things shift. Instead of frustration, she approaches problems as opportunities in disguise. I am very grateful for her adaptability as well as her depth of design knowledge. I recommend Megan highly.
