The graphics were thoughtfully crafted to transform the space into an inspiring and inclusive area for meetings and events. The design aimed to foster a sense of pride and community, enhancing the overall atmosphere of the center.

My Colleagues say.

Phyll Arrington
Director of Brand & Values at The Body Shop

"Meredith was my go-to lead designer for projects requiring collaboration, creativity and passion. She has an amazing ability to balance a respect for deadlines with innovative thinking. She was the lead designer for our 2014 Black Friday event and her in store creative concept directly contributed to The Body Shop exceeding forecast when other retailers struggled. Meredith would be a strong addition to any team and I am excited to see how her career grows!"

Rikke Alderson
Sr. Director of Digital Marketing at Big 5 Sporting Goods

"Meredith is an extremely passionate creative with deep roots in composition and typography. She has strong sense of personal design that she brings to every design. She fully understands how to work in the corporate culture and still brings a fresh look to every design she produces. She has additionally showed much interest and enthusiasm for the back-end of digital and web design in the form of learning code and understanding the limitations of function as it marries to design. I highly recommend this thoughtful, creative designer to whatever she aspires to...because she will deliver."

Cheri Hoffman
Brand Director at The Body Shop

"Meredith is not only a talented graphic designer, she is also a creative thinker that brings innovative ideas and unlimited enthusiasm to every project. One of the most difficult things to do in marketing is to translate an idea into a real and relevant campaign; yet time after time I watched Meredith do just that. She was instrumental in the overall Branding and visual expression for our Absinthe Lounge concept at Hopscotch Music Festival, and has helped developed the look and feel for key company events such as Black Friday. She is also a team player, collaborating with our Digital team to share ideas and participating in numerous cross-functional strategy and brainstorm meetings. Meredith has been a joy to work with, and would be an asset to any company."

John Adams
Sr. Brand Manager at Red Hat

"Meredith and I were co-workers on the Red Hat brand team for several years, and I always looked forward to opportunities for us to work together. Why? Because Meredith is not only an extremely talented designer, but she lives her life with an infectious joy and emanates positive energy wherever she goes -- sadly, a rarity in a corporate workspace. It was always an immense pleasure to work with Meredith. On a professional level, Meredith was always striving for improvement; as good as her work was, she was interested in learning how to make it even better. In the years since leaving Red Hat, I know Meredith has continued to strive to realize her great promise and potential as a designer. As I've always thought, 'this girl is one to watch!'"
