Megan Hillman Donovan

I AM A PICA & PIXEL PERFECTIONIST.

For me, learning new shortcuts, conquering new programs and being conceptual sound like the perfect day. I love technology, I love making things—that’s why design is a win-win.

I’m currently a creative director at Walden Hyde (Boulder, CO) designing from my home office in Cleveland, Ohio.

I’m an alumna of Ohio University (Athens, OH), where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Visual Communication in Publication Design & Informational Graphics with a specialization in Interior Architecture.

Want to know more? Like what my favorite illustrator shortcuts are or my favorite type of writing utensil? Contact me. Want to know the normal stuff—then download my resume.
