My room in the ArtHouse
Megan is responsible for executing the client’s vision and feedback into thoughtful designs; from the conceptual phase all of the way through fabrication management. In addition to working tirelessly on concepts and design development, Megan supports the team in all aspects of a project as a reliable point of contact between the client, fabricators & vendors.

She is experienced in search engine optimization and website planning and programming, and is our social media go-to gal.

Outside the house
Megan grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado, working as a professional portrait artist in high school. She then studied abroad in Italy, fell in love with architecture, design and typography along the way and found environmental graphic design to be a match made in heaven. She loves yoga, biking, and wake surfing and once ate two Chipotle burritos in half an hour on a dare. She can't stand rude people, or intentional misspellings like EZ, Kwik and cheezy. And really, who can blame her?
