Meet Megan

A young woman with brown hair styled in loose waves, smiling at the camera, wearing a dark green turtleneck and a gold star-shaped earring.
Oh, hi there!
Two cats, one black with green eyes and one gray with yellow eyes, looking up at the camera on a wooden floor near a patterned rug.
A woman with long, wavy hair and a tiara is making a skeptical face, with her eyebrows furrowed and lips pursed. A young boy with short hair is squinting with his eyes closed, grimacing slightly, with his arm resting on the woman's shoulder. Both are close together

I'm Megan Rae, a brand and marketing strategist who also happens to be a really good designer. I believe good marketing should feel thoughtful and intentional, and good design should make that strategy actually visible.

My work lives at the intersection of strategy and creativity. Over 13+ years, I've built multi-market ad campaigns, brand systems, websites, content strategies, and full-scale marketing programs for healthcare organizations, school districts, community groups, economic development agencies, and small businesses that care deeply about what they're building. Whether it's a Google Ads campaign, a logo, a content calendar, or all three before lunch, I focus on creating systems that tell clear stories and actually work in the real world.

I care about consistency, but not at the expense of personality. I love a brand that knows who it is, shows up confidently, and leaves room to evolve. My approach is collaborative, curious, and rooted in listening first. The best work always starts there.

When I'm not working, I'm usually still creating or wandering. I paint, draw, needlepoint, and craft because making things with my hands keeps me grounded. I love being outside in nature, soaking up fresh air, open skies, and quiet moments that reset my brain. You'll often find me playing with my son, building Lego Botanicals one leaf at a time, wandering through Animal Crossing, or getting lost in a good book. I treasure thoughtful conversations with friends, the kind that linger and matter.

My household is full and a little chaotic in the best way. I'm building a blended family with my partner Jordan and our crew of boys, including my own son Ben, whom I lovingly describe as my mini gremlin with excellent taste.

At home, I'm supervised by two cats: Penelope, the resident demon cat, and Remy, a sweet baby angel who can do no wrong. They keep things interesting.

At the end of the day, I build for people. For clarity. For connection. For ideas that deserve a strategy behind them and a story worth telling. If that sounds like your kind of thing, we'll probably work well together.

Let’s Work Together
