Welcome! Thank you for the visit. As a Senior Graphic Designer with 10+ years of brand design and brand marketing experience in the Chicagoland area I have developed a fervor for creating, evolving, and influencing whole brands that span several industries and markets. My heart is dedicated to helping each client embrace their distinctly honest visual voice, ongoing growth, and success via a collaborative process of creative discovery.

I am able to balance a self-initiated passionate approach with curiosity and empathy to find creative and successful solutions for design challenges. I am also highly regarded as detail-oriented with the ability to zoom out, flexible, quickly adaptable, time-efficient, precise, a solution-finder, and compassionate. I go by Megan Lee (or ML) which is my full first name. Fun fact: This is often mistaken, and that is ok. I’m currently freelancing and open to both full, part-time, or other freelance positions.

Much of my work encompasses brands in the lifestyle space, fast-casual restaurants and cafes, luxury wine and spirits, cosmetics and body care, retail, real estate, cannabis, and hospitality. While I have an affinity for branding, UI/UX design, and packaging, my work truly extends beyond objects and screens into spaces and memorable experiences. My most recent client work includes brands like Fairlife, Freeman, EcoTools, and Real Techniques. I’ve also recently held a Senior Design position at a vertically integrated national private cannabis company where I evolved 3 key brands with new product packaging campaigns, consumer facing seasonal campaigns, dispensary branding, reward program driven merch, and compliant friendly social media outreach. If any of my listed experience and services sound like a good fit, I would love to hear from you. Unfortunately some of my work will be password protected so don’t be shy to ask if there’s something you would wish to see.

If you’re in Chicago or Milwaukee, you might find me out and about. I spend my time outside of design staying connected to nature as much as possible, researching…everything (probably at a Goddess, Fairgrounds, or Colectivo), tinkering with diy, making lists, and surrounding myself with art history and fashion.
