Strategic Communications sparking Systemic Change
Tēnā koe.
If we want better systems, we need better stories.
I work with NGOs, Iwi, government agencies, foundations, and grassroots movements across Aotearoa –helping organisations step back from the noise, make sense of the systems they are operating within, and align their strategy, communications, and theory of change. Because when the narrative is confused, the strategy often is too.
I bring illustration, narrative framing, and strategic messaging to translate complexity into clarity. And for NGO leaders carrying enormous responsibility with very little thinking support alongside them, I work as a direct executive partner – sharpening thinking, strengthening messaging, and keeping the work connected to its deeper intent, even when everything is moving fast.
Let's visualise a more connected, thriving future –together.

About Megan
My path to this work has been anything but linear -and that's the point. A decade owning and running a design studio, work in sustainable business and social entrepreneurship, visual facilitation, civic technology, campaign strategy, deliberative democracy. The through-line across all of it has been a personal quest: to help human beings tell better stories about ourselves and our potential. That intention is foundational to everything I do.
I live in Paekākāriki with my Artist/Nurse/Animator husband, our Creative/Dynamic/Sparky tweenager and our Fluffball Poochen puppy.
I also co-founded the League of Live Illustrators. If you are organising an event – a conference, hui, workshop, or celebration – we bring creative flair that captures the essence of what happens in the room. Beautiful, shareable visual records that make your report-back a joy to read and your highlights worth spreading. Find out more.
