about — Megan Egan

Alright, bab?

My name is Megan Egan, which rhymes if you pronounce it wrong. (Don’t worry, you’re not the first.)

I’m a creative thinker and daydreamer born in glorious Birmingham. University wasn’t for me — I jumped feet first into the industry as a Design Apprentice instead working across major sports brands and events for a few years before I landed a spot on the D&AD Academy, where I fell in love with Art Direction.

I always said I never wanted to move to London but here I am six years deep, and it’s not as bad as I thought if you look past the crippling rental market and clammy tube carriages — although I do miss £2 pints and being able to get a decent balti.

Currently, I’m thinking of ideas and trying to make them happen at Creature London, where so far I’ve conquered the world of gifting with my army of adorable piglets in fancy dress; sold mattresses with the help of a laser-shooting sloth; and ended a dystopian nightmare with a few cushions and a lick of paint. So I guess you could say it’s going pretty well.
