about me
I'm Megan, a mural artist & graphic designer based in Rockaway Beach, NYC. I help gyms, wellness spaces, cafés and restaurants bring their brands to life across both digital and physical spaces. From murals that transform a room to branding that actually reflects your vibe (not just another logo), my work combines strong design, firsthand wellness industry experience and a hands-on, collaborative process to help brands stand out and create spaces that people want to be part of.
I also co-run Brooklyn Strength Club with my mom, our women-owned community gym that I rebranded from the inside out, so I know what it's like to run a small business and the need for your brand to actually pull weight.
If your business or space needs clarity, character and a little edge, I've got you 🫶.
how we work
You're part of the process from day one. The design process is hands-on and collaborative from start to finish.
-
Fill out a quick questionnaire so I understand your business, your goals, and what you're envisioning.
-
We’ll schedule a discovery call to discuss your project, goals, ideas and the specifics. This isn't a sales call, it's how I make sure we’re the right fit before either of us commits to anything.
-
From there, you’ll receive an initial project proposal outlining the project scope, timeline and estimated investment.
-
This is where the collaboration happens. You’ll see concepts, give real feedback, and we’ll work together in a streamlined client portal where all project details — design drafts, feedback, revisions and updates — will live.
-
Final deliverables are not just files or a finished mural. It's a brand you can actually use, with the guidance to use it well. For murals and signage, that means being on-site through the final coat. For digital design and brand work, that means a walkthrough so you know how to run with it.
Let’s create something
that gets you noticed

printable posters
The hand-drawn typography gives the print a raw, authentic look, like a note scribbled on a diner receipt after a meal. It’s perfect for adding character to a kitchen, dining nook, coffee bar or gallery wall.
This printable artwork works beautifully as part of a gallery wall or as a standalone statement piece in kitchens, breakfast nooks, or dining areas.

Every spot that makes Rockaway, Rockaway. All on one poster.
This is a hand-drawn tribute to the bars that keep the peninsula running: the beach bar you ended up at by accident, the pub you swore you’d only stop at for one, and the place you go when the sun’s still out and nobody’s in a rush.
I drew every single bar by hand, one at a time, and designed the whole poster myself.
The details
11” x 17”
Printed on glossy paper
Unframed, so you can frame it however you want
Original illustration and design by me
Hang it in the kitchen, by the bar cart, or wherever your people gather. It makes a great housewarming gift for anyone who’s ever called the Rockaways home, or wished they did.
See you at the beach. 🤙
