MEET YOUR DESIGNER

I’m Megan! Nice to Meet You.

Let’s start with the basics: I love all things sweet, cannot touch coffee and Harry Styles honestly rules my life. As we work together, you will soon find out I am quite sarcastic, ever so casual but most definitely passionate. No project leaves my computer undercooked.

JOURNEY TO FREELANCING

So How’d We Get Here?

Design has been a consistent throughout my life, but entirely unknowingly. As a child, I loved colouring in and with age that turned into an addiction to Microsoft Paint. Soon I was introduced to photography and took charge of family photos (looking back, I definitely didn’t have my design eye just yet). 

CREATIVE BEFORE I KNEW IT

My high school had a massive film department and that is where I flourished. It came naturally to me, but my self confidence decided that was because it was an easy subject. I prioritised academics and applied to study a Bachelors of Psychology at a prestigious university. Two weeks in and I have my earth-shattering moment: I hate science and I hate arrogant people… get me out of here! 

DIFFERENT PRIORITIES

Within 6 months I was freelancing small design jobs for anyone I could reach via Facebook, plus I was set to return to university studying visual design. Fast forward a year and I am offered a position as Head of Design for a start up supplements company. I taught myself everything I came across… packaging, print, socials, EDMs, the lot. I grew in areas where my studies could not take me. 

FINALLY DESIGNING!

After graduating, I decided to take a turn in my journey and Built From Fire Design Studio was born. I wanted to work with a plethora of brands, meeting new directors and expanding into untouched industries. Creating designs that resonate with audiences and seeing brands thrive has always fuelled me. I love working with individuals who love their business as much as I love mine. Is this you?

DOING MY OWN THING

DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE

Our Signature Approach

At Built From Fire, we care for your brand like it is our own. We understand how to achieve the perfect balance of strategic design decisions and sentimental elements that resonate with you, the owner. Brands can look the part, attract their audience and kill it in sales, but if you feel it’s detached from your identity then where’s the human connection behind the brand?

Investing in new branding or a website can be daunting — like finally pressing checkout on a cart full of new clothes — but we get it! Built From Fire was a plunge in the deep end in itself, so we understand the struggles and emotional ties to brands that only a fellow small business owner could.

  • We want to see our clients shine. Your confidence radiates through your brand, so we want our clients to know that they have got this! No doubting yourself or your brand is allowed… only positive, enriching and supportive conversations are welcome here.

  • Megan has always been coined an honest (sometimes too truthful 🤭) and open person. It’s time to use this to her advantage! We want your input and personal touch throughout the brand, but we are the experts here. This is our zone of genius, so we will be our authentic selves when sharing our perspective.

  • Fostering deep connections is so important to us! We don’t have time for surface level chit chat. How can we create designs for a brand we only know an inch about? Tell us your why and let’s build on that.

  • Say it with me, “Logo generators are not the solution!”. Websites like Canva are perfect for brands starting out and needing a quick logo solution. However, this isn’t branding! Our designs are crafted with only your brand in mind. We refuse to duplicate a design, pull an illustration or copy a font. This is your brand, so let’s make it uniquely YOURS.

MORE THAN A NAME

Why Are We Called Built From Fire?

When planning for her new business, Megan knew the name had to be a standout. She wanted it to pack a punch, nothing stereotypical and most importantly, resonate with her and her future clients. Megan went through pages of ideas and spent hours scrolling endlessly for inspiration. It was not until she looked around her bedroom and caught a glimpse at the wall art she walked past every morning. “She is the fire”, it reads when describing an Aries star sign woman. Growing up with a fellow Aries mother, Megan was taught to be proud of her burning and passionate personality, so placing it at the centre of her brand only makes sense.

Aries are “fearless”, “strong” and “independent”; three words we hope our clients align with. Built From Fire, of course, represents Megan, but she also chose the name in hopes to attract fellow fierce women to work with. Your brand won’t be thrown into the fire, it is the fire.
