About

Hi, I’m Megan, aka Pru. I grew up in Boise, Idaho, studied graphic and interface design at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, and moved to Northern California in search of greener pastures and a more progressive political climate shortly after earning my BFA. The mountains and woods of Idaho are my roots, but I am at home in the redwood coastline and the Northern California state of mind. Currently living my best life in Sonoma County where I don’t have to deal with actual winters and I can lazy garden year-round.

I have an amazing supportive family, two awesome partners, and two very entertaining cats, Boba and Mochi, who you will likely see all over my Instagram stories. Yes, I’m the weird auntie with the cats. I love food, especially growing and cooking my own, and sharing it with everyone I love. I’m not sure if food, cats, and plants count as love languages, but they are definitely mine.

I am a creative person who wears many hats. My training began in graphic design and web design and I can manage social media and create content in my sleep, but these days I prefer to think bigger picture, and I am happiest in a multifaceted Marketing Director type role.

My passion lies in envisioning, planning, and implementing creative and marketing strategies across a variety of media and platforms, working with a team or a client to build the strategy and systems needed to run a well-oiled marketing machine and create content that hits people right in the feels. I’m also one of those crazy people who seems to thrive in chaos and I have lots of event planning, marketing and production experience.

I work best with a supportive and interdependent team but I have plenty of experience doing literally all of the things as a one-woman marketing department as well. If it’s artsy and techy, throw it at me and I can probably figure it out. If my heart’s in it, that is. I quickly get bored of projects with no substance and no purpose. But I can do anything when inspired and on a mission I can align with. I can’t sit still and I can’t stop creating. Because I can’t imagine a life in which I didn’t make beautiful things, and I can’t stop trying to leave this amazing world a more beautiful, balanced place than I found it.

This site is part design and campaign portfolio, part personal journal, part recipe collection, part manifesto, and in general, a central hub to organize all of my various interests in this wild adventure called life.

I’m not one to separate my work from my life since I personally invest in everything I do, so you’ll find a mix of all of the above here. But I can’t promise it will be updated as often as I update my clients’ sites… I never was that great at tooting my own horn, but I will talk your ear off about my projects and clients!
