Testimonials

  • Meghan is such a pro – and she creates such a secure feeling in the teams she leads. All while being caring, kind, human and real. I feel like I can really talk to her – that she is truly approachable – and it’s something I massively appreciate about her. Beyond that – the design work for [project] was absolutely stellar – done under considerable pressure, and in something like 48 hours – and the way she presented it was outstanding as well (as always.)

    VML, GDD

  • I think we’re extremely lucky to have Meghan as a leader in our group. She inspires great work in those around her, and creates a calm steadiness in projects that helps makes everyone’s lives a little easier. You would always want her on your team.

    VML, GDD

  • I have the utmost respect for Meghan and her leadership. From the beginning to the end of a project I am completely freed-up to design and ideate because she has thoughtfully outlined and structured every step of process. When wheels are spinning or extra work is required, she makes herself available to provide guidance, helpful insights and instill confidence in my abilities to make it better.

    VML, ADD

  • Meghan is a voice of reason, so calm, so eloquent, and so thoughtful. I admire her ability to challenge a project and keep the client's wishes under consideration while working on a project. She has been so helpful in calming and reassuring me when I am stressed or concerned about a project.

    VML, SD

  • Meghan has shown a keen insight in asking the right questions early in a project, digging a little deeper (ie: landscaping, collecting relevant examples, investigating, re-defining), and providing a clear path forward. She'll often double-check with designers and other team members to make sure we're clear in our gameplan and who can best fit a given task, or tasks within a project. This clear communication is helpful because it develops trust on a personal level as someone we know we can reach out to if we need help.

    VML, DD

  • Meghan does not back down from a challenge and shows great leadership by being a trusted and honest communicator, both internally as well as with clients. I appreciate her willingness to chat 1:1 to work through any problems or confusion, no matter how big or small. She did great in navigating and leading projects (including pitches) in the healthcare space and with VMLYR Health, which can be unfamiliar territory to most of us. I appreciate this ability to embrace new or unfamiliar situations.
