Hi, I'm Meghan. —

I design systems, not just screens — bringing together visual design, UX thinking, and front-end fluency to build things that work beautifully and hold up in the real world.

How I Work.

Systems Thinker

I build design systems that scale — brand guides, component libraries, and repeatable patterns that empower teams long after I'm gone.

Accessiblity-First

WCAG/AA compliance isn't a checkbox for me. It's a baseline I build from, because good design works for everyone.

Full-Stack Designer

From initial concept to front-end implementation, I'm comfortable across the entire design-to-build pipeline — Figma, WordPress, HTML/CSS, and beyond.

Designing for humans, not just screens.

Research-driven, user-centered, always iterating. Each project is a chance to solve a real problem — and leave behind something that actually holds up.

From the people I've worked with.

What I bring to the table.

Visual Design & Brand Systems

Identity, brand guides, and scalable design systems built to grow with your organization.

UX/UI Design & Prototyping

Research-grounded wireframes, user flows, and interactive prototypes that connect strategy to experience.

Responsive Web Design

Front-end fluency across WordPress, Figma, HTML/CSS — comfortable from concept to shipped.

Accessibility & WCAG Compliance

AA standards built in from the start, not bolted on at the end.

Design for Non-Technical Users

Systems and sites built to be maintained by real humans, without needing a developer on call.

Print & Marketing Collateral

Brochures, campaigns, and multi-piece print systems that extend brand identity into the physical world.

Creativity doesn't stop at my desk.

I find inspiration in motion, curiosity, and making — whether I'm on the water, under a car hood, stitching something new, or streaming online.
