HI THERE
My name is Megan. I'm a design leader and visual designer with over 10 years experience managing and empowering design teams who make meaningful products that aspire to help millions of people better their lives.
A little bit more about me—
As a people manager, I often get asked if I miss being a maker, and my firm answer is aways: NOPE. I truly find happiness in supporting others, lifting them up, guiding them through tough spots, and learning how to work better together everyday. They say that your strengths lie in tasks that you lose track of time in...and for me, this is connecting with my team in one and ones, collaborative operational planning with my peer leaders, and facing tough situations with compassion and humanity. I've had executive coaching through Better-Up, hands-on training in diversity, inclusion and belonging, and have a special place in my heart for mentorship and career path development.
In the past year, I lost over 100 pounds, moved out of California to a small town in Northern Idaho, and spent 3 months swimming in the ocean in Hawaii. I love interior design, playing outside, cooking for my family, and really nerdy cosplay.
