Bio
Jon Welty
Megan has provided me with her design skills since 2008 during the renovation of 3 homes. While each home had its own unique style, Megan created innovative spaces with stylish color palettes and recommended the perfect decor. Her ability to listen to my needs/desires and complement them was a welcome change from pushy designers who demand you use their style. I also appreciated Megan’s ability to work within the alloted budget and schedule. On top all of her design skills, she is a truey lovely and kind person with whom it is truly a pleasure to do business!

I have worked with Megan on several home design projects over the past 10 years. She has a great eye and sense of style. Megan takes the time to understand the goal of the project, the desired price point and provides multiple options consistent with my personal aesthetic. She is always willing to discuss the pros and cons of each option within the context of the overall project. I value Megan’s opinion on all matters of interior design. Additionally, Megan has exceptional customer service skills. She clearly communicates lead time and price up front and consistently exceeds expectations. It is a pleasure to work with Megan. I would recommend her for any project, large or small.
