About Megan Barbee

I am a passionate and experienced creative with a decade of design expertise. I thrive in collaborative team environments and am driven by purpose. To me, purpose means designing with intent - understanding why we are creating something, who it will impact, what they will see, and why it matters. Answering these questions leads to impactful designs. I have always been driven to create great design whether it is behind the screen of a computer, the spinning blade of a saw, the boundless lump of clay, or the gridded pages of a notebook. Pursuing creation is my primary goal in my career, and I enjoy exploring outlets for that in every capacity.
