Background
Hey, I’m Meagan! I’m a passionate graphic designer, illustrator, avid antiquer, and theme park enthusiast. I recently graduated with a BFA from the University of Michigan, with a focus on graphic design. I approach every project with passion, positivity, and a whole lot of creativity. I specialize in bright, fun graphics with a vintage flair. I aspire to be a designer in the themed entertainment industry. I’m looking to join a company committed to bringing creative and innovative experiences and products to kids and kids at heart. I'm currently participating in the 2025 TEA mentorship program, soaking up all the knowledge I can!
