Bio
David Baeza
Megan is one of the most creative and wonderful people I’ve had the pleasure to work with. She makes creative problem-solving fun and exciting; even while under challenging circumstances like tight deadlines, balancing diverse projects, and supporting multiple clients. She is a talented professional with many skills, notably her ability to influence through clear art direction and innovative ideas have lifted clients’ current brands, new campaigns, and internal marketing. Megan’s leadership paired with her always positive approach is not only indispensable but also promotes growth in creative and business acumen to those part of the team.

As a freelance designer for Complete Nutrition, Megan was responsible for the concept design of our 2015 Franchise Convention logo and theme, as well as the creation of our event’s online and print materials. Not only was Megan an absolute pleasure to work with, her design work was fantastic. Megan was able to bring our brand to life throughout the Convention design and we loved how everything turned out. Megan is a gifted designer, both professional and personable, and very detail-oriented. I highly recommend Megan to those in need of design work and I look forward to my next opportunity to work with her again!
