About Megan Mead

I am a UX/UI Designer and Illustrator located in Austin, TX. I have over 9 years of experience creative directing imagery, designing new product features, and overseeing more than 40 product launches on multiple internal tools and consumer-facing portals at Visa. As a UX Designer with strong Graphic Design roots, I believe great product design is found at the cross-roads of impactful visuals AND empathetic, human-centered experiences. That is where I am most excited to work – in the ‘AND’.I am also very passionate about how good presentation skills can influence a designer\'s career, and I have spoken at several conferences (including SXSW and HOW Design Live) on this topic.
