A little about me and how I help founders

I'm Meghan, a Staff Product Designer based in Long Beach, 

I’m a full-stack product designer who turns complexity into clarity, building products people trust and businesses can actually grow on. With 10+ years’ experience, I’m fluent in data, product-led growth, and business-minded decision-making. I make strategy the foundation, setting clear north stars and measurable targets when possible, so every outcome is directly tied to your goals, whether that’s product-market fit, revenue, activation, or retention.

Design is one of the most underused growth levers in early-stage and scaling companies. People often assume design’s role is to execute, that we only become valuable when it's time to throw down the pixels, after the strategy is set, the research is done, and the answers are clear.

But did you know that in Y Combinator’s 2025 investment thesis, they predicted designers would be the next wave of founders?

Design is in the job title, but our real expertise is in product experience.

I think of design as setting the stage for users to find their own clarity. The aha moment doesn’t come from a gimmick, it comes from designing systems that respect how people think, feel, and move through the world.

In a tight market where every dollar matters, working with a product designer helps you de-risk key decisions: it shortens the time between idea and insight, reduces costly churn by removing user friction, and increases conversion by guiding people toward action.

how the work gets done

01

Tell me what you're building and where you need support

Every project is a little different, but they usually kick off by sharing details like:

Your goals

Needs, wants, risks

Defining success

Timeline and outputs
a product demo calendar invite with day, time, and guest list
a product demo task item with tags, description, and datea task list for project kickoff with three task items, one completed and two remaining open

We'll work together to build, align, and iterate

Partnership can be as collaborative or hands-off as you need. We’ll align on short- and long-term wins, then prioritize based on user needs and market signals.

Execution: Review, revise, and deliver

After we align on the direction, I design the UI, share mockups for review and revision, and support QA as we move into implementation.

"Meghan's design work was critical to elevating the entire customer journey."

She has been critical in helping us create a customer journey that feels clear, cohesive, and genuinely high-value. We’ve made huge strides in how our community experiences the product, and her ability to think strategically while working within tight time constraints has been incredibly impactful.

"Meghan brings clarity, empathy, and strategy to every product decision."

Meghan is a very thoughtful UX designer who brought a fresh perspective to our team. She challenged us to refine our product offering and helped us level up our best practices. Her ability to empathize with both the product and its users made a noticeable difference in how we approached engagement. I’d recommend her to any founder looking to build a higher-quality product.

“I was genuinely so impressed with the website you designed!”

I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Meghan on several projects, and she’s an exceptional UX designer. Her creative instincts are spot on, and she consistently produces designs that are not only visually compelling but also highly intuitive for users. Beyond her design talent, what really sets Meghan apart is her collaborative spirit — she doesn’t hesitate to step up and fill in gaps when a project needs it, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks. Her work is always delivered to a high standard, and having her on a team elevates the entire project. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable UX designer.
