About the Designer

How I Do It

Mood

I use rich color, pattern, and expressive illustration to establish atmosphere — creating visuals that set a distinct tone and resonate deeply with your audience.

Clarity

I build purposeful layouts and intentional typographic systems that make complex messages clear, compelling, and visually cohesive.

Storytelling

Whether it’s a book cover, brand identity, or campaign, I design with narrative at the center — translating story into visual rhythm, symbolism, and atmosphere.

“Megan’s work blew me away.”

“She put in a tremendous amount of energy researching who I am as an online brand, and what I creatively stand for. The end result is brilliant — her logo is a perfect representation of who I am. She is personable, transparent, thoughtful, and unbelievably efficient at what she does. Needless to say, I highly recommend Megan!”

“The branding looks so awesome!”

“The yellow on the dark background in the primary logo is fantastic, as are the icons and patterns on the wrapping paper. And it’s so interesting to read your takeaways from my Instagram account. The nail color is such a great touch!”

“We were lucky enough to get these incredible photos from Megan Mahfoud at the Sparta Renaissance Faire.”
