Senior Visual & UX/UI Designer
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.
7+ years experience
Portland, OR
Available for Work
My Approach
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.
Featured Work
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.
