Hi! My name is Megan Little. When I think back to what sparked my creative career path, I can’t help but remember being 4 years old sitting at the kitchen table with 100 different crayons spread across it. I have been interested in art for as long as I remember, but when I actually realized I could make it a career out of design was in high school. I distinctly remember the first day I used Adobe Illustrator and fell in love. When I started designing in the other Adobe programs, I knew it was something I could do for the rest of my life. I credit my high school graphic design teacher for encouraging me to pursue a career in design and giving me the confidence to do so.
I am originally from the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. There I grew up with my parents, 2 younger siblings, and always at least one family dog. I decided to attend college about an hour away from home at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. There I played collegiate softball and majored in Studio Art with a focus in Graphic Design, and minored in Marketing. While at IUP, I started working on campus as a graphic designer for the Office of International Education. Working there led me to study abroad for a semester at the University of Zagreb, Academy of Art in Zagreb, Croatia. I traveled across Eastern Europe, everywhere from Budapest, Hungary to Vienna, Austria. I was able to expand my knowledge of art, design, and history, as well as make life-long friends across the world.
Throughout college, I held two additional design internships, both of which inspired me to dream of working at a creative agency surrounded by a team of talented designers.
Upon graduating in December 2019, I landed my first job as a Graphic Designer at a marketing company called The Church Online LLC. There, I collaborated with a team of creatives, including six other graphic designers, web developers, videographers, copywriters, social media managers, and project managers. My responsibilities ranged from designing social media graphics and logos to creating websites and apps. I gained invaluable knowledge from my team members and especially my manager, who mentored me every step of the way.
Seeking a change, I packed my bags—and my dog, Frankie—and moved to Sarasota, Florida. While there, I worked as an in-house Graphic Designer at Beall’s Corporate Office in Bradenton before becoming the lead Graphic Designer at a marketing agency called DigiSphere Marketing in Sarasota. During my two years at DigiSphere, I primarily designed website interfaces and created logos and branding for new and existing businesses. I also worked on projects like social media graphics, banners, print materials, and more. Living in Florida, far from family and friends, helped me appreciate my incredible support system I had back home. Although I loved my time there, I ultimately decided to relocate back to Pittsburgh.
Since returning to Pittsburgh, I’ve adapted to working fully remotely and started a new position in February 2024 at Brightline, a connected TV company. Brightline is the industry standard for interactive ads, serving some of the nation’s biggest brands like Target, Amazon, BMW, Walmart, and LEGO to name a few. I collaborate with an incredible team of innovative designers, developers, account managers, and engineers to produce engaging, interactive ads for platforms such as Hulu, ESPN, Peacock, Warner Brothers Discovery, Paramount+, and Max. Our ads are designed to enhance awareness, recall, and purchase intent compared to standard video ads. Keep an eye out for my team’s work while streaming your favorite shows or even watching Sunday Night Football!
When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with friends at local restaurants and bars, taking my pup Frankie on walks, doing yoga and cycling classes, coaching youth softball, working out at the gym, binge-watching my favorite shows, reading, shopping, or planning my next trip.
Although I work full-time, I’m always open to freelance opportunities and ways to expand my portfolio. If you’re interested in collaborating, feel free to email or text me anytime. I can’t wait to work together!
