A friend recently tagged me in a post showing me Megy Design’s fabulous work & I was immediately drawn to her style & talent. Plus her name is pretty damn cool, so I knew I had to make contact!
This designer, doodler & wannabe-hipster (her own words) is a super mum & truly a beautiful soul. I am sure that you will agree after reading a little bit more about her & her business…

Anything else you want to add: Just that I am trying my hardest to get my first solo children’s book published at the moment, so keep an eye out for ‘Henry’
Please contact Megan if you have any ideas you want brought to life, & make sure you follow her on social media. I’m trying to decide whether I want a unicorn or family portrait from this lovely lady – or if I should just do both! What do you think?
