Meg Buchner is a freelance graphic artist based in Ferryville, Wisconsin. She's able to create almost any type of graphic, but her specialty is satisfying clients by designing every project specifically for each customer's needs. "Great design has to catch the viewer's eye and communicate a message. It doesn't matter how pretty a piece is if it doesn't work," Meg says. "And I make sure everything I create is effective."
In 1993, Meg graduated cum laude from Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin, with a degree in Art and Business. During college, she interned at Sampson Art Gallery and was offered the position of Marketing Director and Manager upon graduation. In 1995, she took a position as Graphic Designer at the advertising agency of L. Quillin & Associates (LQA). She was a stockholder in the agency and an important member of the creative team for almost seven years. Her duties included graphic design, art direction, supervision of photo shoots, pre-press, printing, account coordination and more.
In 2001 Meg started Megadesign in order to work more directly with clients, broaden her creative horizons, and meet the demands of a growing family. Meg says, "My office and studio are in my home, which allows me to set my own schedule, devote myself to only a few projects at a time and do more versatile work. I can concentrate on serving select clients, while still doing the job I love."
