Hi, I’m Megan Mahfoud

Working from my home studio, my specialty is creating visually stunning brand identities and design assets that help small and large businesses connect with their audience and drive their mission forward authentically.

After graduating in Philly with a B.S. in Graphic Design, NYC beckoned, leading me to design and illustrate brand identities, marketing materials, and data visualizations.

In 2018, I harnessed these experiences and launched my freelance studio. Teaming up with amazing clients, I thrive on turning their business dreams into vibrant brands through creativity and collaboration.

When I’m not basking in the warm light of my computer screen…

You can find me sewing one-of-a-kind fiber art under the pseudonym Nightly Made (follow along with over 13K others), or I’m snapping photos of the local wildlife.

Some of my favorite things!

  • “Megan’s work blew me away. She put in a tremendous amount of energy researching who I am as an online brand. The 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. I highly recommend Megan!”

    ✦ Tony Manfredonia, Composer ✦

  • “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!”

    ✦ Jennifer Kucharski, Bakery Owner ✦

  • "Absolutely beyond great quality! Megan's designs are so unique and lovely! From start to finish there was a great amount of quality, communication, and support.”
