We sat down with Megan to get the insider’s scoop of what gets the gears spinning in her very creative mind.

When was the last time you tried something new?

I tried an awesome new recipe two nights ago – mushroom sugo. It’s like spaghetti sauce, but more intense. It was really fun! When I bake, I always bake new things. On a non-food note, I also saw Hairspray!

Which activities make you lose track of time?

When I have to be organized and make lists (especially when it comes to wedding planning).  I keep lists all around me. One online, one on paper and one in my phone.

If you had to teach something, what would you teach?

I would love to teach a leadership class. It would be called, “How to be a good leader while still having fun.” Every body has the ability to be a leader. Find what interests you. Dig deep and find it within. I would also love to teach arts and crafts for kids. Kids should know that abstract is cool.

How would you describe your design style?

Simplistic and colorful. The logos I make are all very one-dimensional. I think that goes with anything I design.  It’s too bad clients don’t always understand the appeal of white space. Haven’t we all heard the phrase, “MAKE MY LOGO BIGGER!!!!”

What is your dream job?

I wish I knew. I really enjoy the creative aspect of advertising and connecting with people. So, as of right now, I love advertising.
