If you’re like most people who reach out to me, it might be as if…
You can’t seem to find the perfect message or the right voice to communicate it, so you’re not reaching the right audience (or, any audience, ugh).
The quality you offer doesn’t match how you look, and you’re losing precious sales. Does your business quality say “fine dining”, but your brand quality says “fast food”…?
You don’t know where to begin, or where to go next. You’re overwhelmed and feeling out of your depths.
Once we empower you with branding aligned with your goals, you’ll be much more confident in your ability to…
With custom branding crafted around your unique purpose, you’ll have all the right tools to reach the right people, finally!

You deserve the strategy, logo, website, and marketing presence of your dreams! But you don’t deserve to lose customers while waiting weeks or months for the development.

“Megan understands design is not where things end but where they begin. She constantly reminds me it’s what we next do with the design that matters: how we use it to get my audience to engage with content, the importance of keeping that content fresh on my platforms.“
Peter Bruun, Bruun Studios
This I learned the way most of us do—the hard way! After a decade of working as a designer in American corporations and agencies, I completely burned out and got really sick (acute viral meningitis SUCKS).
Fortunately and with time, I recovered completely and left my home country to travel the world for years. As I funded my travels with remote freelance projects, my appreciation grew for all the different ways we can live and earn. This season let me discover my true values and I crafted a new life prioritizing them.
It hasn’t always been simple—a corporate hangover followed me for a long time as I struggled to find alignment, but patience and persistence have been so fruitful, as have my mentors and coaches along the way. I’ve built a business to support the life I love, and now I want to support you in doing the same.
I’ve learned the alignment of making a living and making a life is a constant evolution, and the journey is much sweeter when we can share the highs and lows with someone we trust.
It brings me great joy to support you in your own journey!
