Hello! I’m Meghan, and I’m a user experience researcher.
I draw on my background in academia & project management to bring new perspectives to organizations. A solution architect at heart and natural empath with INTJ tendencies, I love to problem-solve and strategize.
Firm believer that building positive experiences for others = positive life outlook.
I’m inspired by the constantly-changing nature of the web. I love examining how people communicate through different mediums, and my career is focused on ironing out the tensions that arise at these intersections.

Meghan oversaw our New Student Orientation Redesign. This was a new venture for the university and she really lead the entire team from concept through to completion. I relied on her to communicate the vision to a team that had no sense of the concept, and help manage numerous stakeholders through the process. She kept the team or more than 12 organized, informed, and clearly communicated expectations. Because of Meghan, we launched the new student orientation ahead of time and on budget.
Meghan has the unique ability to take complex issues/systems, and make them easy to navigate. Make things user-friendly and keeps you thinking of “what do you want at the end” and “how is this going to better serve the customer/students?” This approach is successful and Meghan created a welcoming environment to make real quality improvements in the process.
