I'm Megan. Product designer and engineer,
based in Nashville.

I started in design and kept going. Most designers hand off to engineering — I wanted to know what happened on the other side. So I learned to build, and it changed how I design. When you ship your own work, the decisions get a lot more honest.

These days I build full-stack — Next.js, Supabase, live APIs — with Cursor and Claude woven into the process across engineering and design. Not to replace design, but because the gap between a mock and a working product is where the real decisions live. The auth edge cases, the empty states, what breaks when real data shows up.

I'm drawn to complex workflows, product systems, and the kind of problems that only surface once something is live.

The work I'm most interested in right now is at the edge where human judgment and AI capability overlap—where the tool has to earn trust through restraint as much as through capability. Most AI product design gets this backwards: it defaults to automation and walks it back after friction. I think the better question is where a person genuinely wants to stay in the loop, and designing for that honestly from the start.

Outside of work, I'm usually planning my next trip, at the gym, cooking something I have no business attempting, or walking my dog Finn.
