My thought process behind starting my own business Meg Ya Look was to start doing something I loved and to work towards something I could be proud of. Straight out of college after receiving my BFA in Graphic Design I started working corporate agency jobs because I thought that’s what I was supposed to do. I quickly realized that wasn’t the place for me & I took a retail job at Anthropologie to start freelancing and took on creative projects that fulfilled me & this was the start of Meg Ya Look. At first, I started doing branding for small business owners and then I took on wedding stationery and custom dog portraits. Now Meg Ya Look is a shop with art prints, enamel pins & tote bags. My future goals are to one day expand into clothing or even design a food truck. - Megan Martinez: Illustrator & Graphic designer @megyalook Photography by Erica Brown, https://www.ericarb.com/
