“I am a creative…. working to serve and impact people’s everyday life.  My professional vehicle for this is my work as an Interior Designer and I am eager to share that with you.”

 

Megan graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Interior Design.  She specializes in remodeling kitchens and bathrooms yet has completed projects of other varying types, interior, exterior, soft commercial, additions, full home design.

 

Megan has had projects featured in the Cedar Valley Home and Garden magazine and the Cedar Valley Parade of Homes.  Her leadership and involvement are evident and recognized, having been selected as a 20 under 40 recipient in the Cedar Valley and also selected for a "best of the best" award in remodeling.  Alongside her professional practice, she serves as an adjunct in the Design Department at the University of Northern Iowa.  Over the years, she has taught Drafting, Design Foundations, Materials, Residential One, and Space planning. Megan is passionate about her community and feels she can steward in these various ways.  Research is a final and ongoing component of her past and present work and most recently, it led to an opportunity to co-collaborate and publish a two-part series about how a built environment can impact performance in the workplace. This work was published in the Cedar Valley Business magazine in the spring of 2020. 

 

Megan believes that everybody is deserving of a great space, and she knows that even the simplest changes to an interior or exterior space can cast a positive reflection on one’s daily life.  Megan knows that the perfect design poses many puzzling challenges, but she enjoys solving each puzzle and guiding people through the process.

 

Outside of her work as a designer, Megan works to holistically combine other areas that keep her creative spirit alive.  Daily rest, work, and play are key in her every day.  Movement, nature, music, and travel allow her to connect and become inspired. Athletic pursuits push her physically and prepare her mentally. Many of these she shares with her husband and beloved greyhound, who never fail to love her into each new day. Megan's love and inspiration for design is not just limited to interiors and architecture, but also that of art, fashion, music and cars. 

​

She focuses her work and attributes her growth to the relationships she has made in her life, community and through her work.  Relationships and understanding is critical to her work as a designer and are a critical component to the value she feels she can provide.    She is often caught sharing these principles and values in her work as a Designer. 

​

             "Providing a solution involves more than drawing up layouts or gathering materials, most anybody can do that.  Design Solutions begin with building a relationship, they grow through understanding and work with trust.  To find a solution I take time to HEAR what my clients are saying, SEE how they are living, and LEARN what it is they desire.  Beginning with this approach ensures that I get beyond the surface and can truly make an impact on their life". -Megan
