Independent designer specializing in brand identity & visual design

I'm Meg Oliphant, an independent designer specializing in brand identity and visual design for clients who understand that every detail matters. My approach balances strategic thinking with meticulous craft—I believe the most compelling brands are built on clarity, intention, and work that rewards closer attention. I'm drawn to projects across industries, but what connects them is a shared belief: that thoughtful design isn't a luxury, it's essential. When I'm not designing, I'm likely exploring vintage bookshops, curating my type specimen collection, or perfecting my coffee ritual.

GOOD DESIGN DOESN’T ANNOUNCE ITSELF. IT INVITES YOU CLOSER.

The best design is both strategic and intuitive—rooted in deep listening, elevated through craft, and guided by the belief that every detail shapes perception. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions or chasing trends. Instead, I create visual identities that are distinctly yours, built on clarity, intention, and an obsessive attention to the choices others might overlook. My process is collaborative but considered, balancing creative exploration with rigorous thinking. The result is work that feels purposeful, looks timeless, and functions beautifully.

MY PHILOSOPHY

A pair of partially submerged, twisted, brown tree roots in a clear, gently flowing river or stream.
Three pears in a wooden bowl on a white table, with a dark green cloth underneath and a light background.
Ocean waves with gentle ripples on the water surface.
Large natural rock formation with an arch, situated on a beach with sand and the ocean in the background.

IN MY WORLD

  • I share my workspace with Bean and Smokey—two cats with strong opinions about design and an uncanny sense of when I need to step away from the screen.

  • Travel is my creative reset. New cities, unfamiliar architecture, different light—these shifts in perspective always find their way back into my work.

  • I have a deep appreciation for coffee—not just the drink, but the ritual. The precision, the patience, the small ceremony of making something exactly right.
