Hey, I'm Megan Weeks!
creator of curated collective co.
Hi, i'm Megan! Remember the puffy-paint-obsessed kid we all knew in kindergarten? Well, that was me. (TBH, if I looked really hard, there’s probably still a few puffy-painted t-shirts somewhere in my mom’s attic – don’t judge me.)
Little did I know that 20 or so years into the future, my love of the creative arts would lead me to where I am today – owning and operating a design studio and educational platform that empowers aspiring graphic designers to go after their dreams. I am so excited and honored that you are here!

how I became a graphic designer
this could be your story, too.
Let’s say you decide to join the Curated Collective Co. community today...
Here’s what your life might look like 6 months from now…
You wake up on a typical Monday morning, not to the sound of an alarm forcing you to a dreary office and a day job you dread, but to a schedule you set for yourself, filled with client projects you are passionate about.
Your inbox is filled with queries from potential clients who found you through Instagram—thanks to the simple marketing plan you created with the resources in our community.
You no longer feel dread when you start a client project, because you know that a supportive community filled with bank of resources and expert advice is just a click away.
As you review your current clients’ designs, you no longer see snippets of other designers' styles but a vibrant portfolio that’s distinctly yours.
Your clients love your work, often accepting your designs with minimal revisions. They praise your unique style and creative solutions, which they say are unlike anything they’ve experienced when working with other designers in the past.
Financially, you’ve not only replaced your 9-5 income but exceeded it, allowing you to take your business full-time.
You’ve also aligned your work schedule to take time off without stress, knowing that your business is running smoothly, supported by structures and processes you developed through tried-and-true resources in the Collective.
But best of all? Your confidence as a designer is at an all-time high, reinforced by an uplifting community of fellow designers who celebrate each other's successes and help each other out with any challenges.
Enter those feelings of empowerment, accomplishment, and excitement about the future of your business that you’ve been craving.
