About Meagan Obrien

Designer, illustrator, and mural artist with a sharp creative eye and a passion for visual storytelling across formats—from packaging and branding to public art. I’ve worked with clients like MIT, Mailchimp, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, and local city agencies to create impactful design solutions that balance clarity, creativity, and heart. As the founder of Ohello Boston, I also celebrate the city through neighborhood-inspired art, murals, and retail products. I bring emotional intelligence, strong project management, and a collaborative spirit to every project I take on.

Experience

1. Production Designer

   Item Studio

   Mar 2019 — Present · Lynn, MA, US

   As a key creative team member at a small, fast-paced studio, I design packaging and support the development of a wide range of consumer products including greeting cards, puzzles (for kids and adults), paper tableware, napkins, enamel keychains, socks, and kids\' crafts. I work closely with the Art Director to ensure all packaging is visually compelling, on-brand, and production-ready. I also contribute original artwork—illustrating designs that are featured on puzzles and other products. With a strong creative eye and an understanding of consumer trends, I make thoughtful, strategic design decisions that enhance product appeal and marketability.I almost built them a basic website which you can see at itemstudio.com.
