SHILLINGTON
Megan is a graduate of the Shillington School of Design and holds a Certificate in Data Visualization from NYU. She has always been passionate about visual communication and storytelling, and took the leap to a career in graphic design after spending 10 years in human resources at an investment bank. Her experience in a rigorous left-brained environment has influenced her approach to tackling design challenges by focusing first on making complex messages and data easy to understand. Megan is always looking to develop new skills and is currently focused on improving her animation skills and learning typeface design. Apart from design, Megan loves to cook, read, and spend time with her two cats (a Scottish Fold and a Himalayan).
