Testimonials
“I hired Meghan earlier this year to help me with some writing assignments for a magazine & yoga show I was hired to teach at, as well as for my website. I will definitely be hiring Meghan in the future. She was not only professional and timely, but she has an extreme attention to grammatical detail and consistency in punctuation/capitalization. She has an ability to modify and condense information without losing the key message and she understands how to maintain overall coherency. Meghan would be a huge asset to any company!”
“Meghan has an unparalleled way with words. She is able to accurately encapsulate one’s experience through to the last detail. I had never felt so seen as when she interviewed me for a writing project she undertook on fashion theory— Seen in the way that I felt like someone understood me and my journey; the complexities, the ironies, and the dualities that came with it. With that, it was no surprise that her understanding of me would also translate beautifully in her execution of a logo design for my startup brand. She’s got both the writing AND the design skills down, without a doubt. I would highly recommend her work to anyone looking to have their brand vision translated in either written or visual mediums.”
