H ello. I’m Meagan Young, a graphic designer based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Knowing that I am truly awesome should be enough for you – but in case it isn’t, I offer the following:

I grew up in Northern Utah, got sick of the cold and moved to St. George, Utah for college. I graduated from Dixie State University in 2011 with my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer & Information Technology and Art (a really long name for Graphic Design but a little more nerdy – aka more coding, computer repair, etc) . I acquired my bachelor’s degree when I was 20 years old. Upon graduation I moved back to northern Utah and am currently working as a designer full time, working my ETSY shop, and freelance on the side.

I love traveling, warm weather, Apple products, The Office reruns and the color black. I’m a lover of audiobooks and podcasts, concerts of mostly all genres, and doing things with friends & my family. I’m a fan of seeing movies and I like to think I’m fluent in movie quotes. I’m a huge planner and like setting goals for myself. I am also an avid journal writer. I LOVE even numbers. I find myself going out of my way to make things symmetrical.  I could eat cereal for every meal, and ice cream is my favorite treat.

I’ve wanted to be a graphic designer since I was 8. I can remember playing in “Printmaster” making everything from cards for every holiday, to making my homework look like it could be put in a published book. My 5th grade teacher once told me she loved looking at my assignments all typed up with pictures and clip art to accessorize the page. In 7th Grade I took my first computer art class and ever since I was hooked.

I love the thrill of design — from the beginning sketch stages to seeing my work communicate a message to the viewer.  Good design can make a HUGE transformation in any company’s marketing strategy, and that’s where I come in.  I enjoy making companies and people look good  — graphically via web or print. Design must seduce, shape and perhaps more importantly, good design evokes an emotional response upon its viewer.  Creativity is intelligence having fun, and I strive to make that happen daily. I’d love to collab on a project or work with you. Please send me a message.
