About
Are you ready to make waves?
At Olive Ridley Studios, we work with passionate small business owners and industry innovators to build bold, authentic brands that stand out. Whether you need a complete brand identity, custom packaging, or branded spaces, we’re here to craft a "turtley" unique brand your customers will love.
I’m not one to brag, but I’ve picked up some cool achievements along the way: winning a 2019 Florida Print Award and being selected as one of 30 designers for the Experiential Design Program at the International Sign Association Expo in 2021. But more than accolades, I’m passionate about building community, which is why I host cSpot, a hub for Savannah’s creative professionals to connect.
After graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design, I spent nearly a decade designing for international brands. But in 2020, after being laid off during the pandemic,
I realized I wanted more.
I wanted to help small businesses like yours grow into brands people can’t stop talking about. That’s how Olive Ridley Studios was born.
Hey, I'm Megan,

Meet Our Founder
I believe every small business has the ability to become a brand people love.
I know firsthand that being a small business doesn't mean having small aspirations. Your branding should help to propel your business forward, not hold it back.
My goal is to level the playing field for small businesses, helping them stand out in a crowded market through strategic design and thoughtful branding. I believe small brands have big potential—and that starts with great branding.
Let’s build something your customers will love, together.

A few of my favorite things:
I’m a big advocate for sustainability, and I’m always working to make both my personal and professional life more eco-friendly. I believe in equal rights for all and love working with clients who share these values.
I love the silly, strange, and lighthearted parts of life. I'm a sucker for dad jokes and puns. I adore alliteration, but honestly, who doesn't? I find it impossible to choose just one favorite color. I enjoy curling up with a good book, especially on a stormy day. Unfortunately, my pile of books to be read has grown a little out of control. I buy them faster than I can read them, but thankfully, I also use books in all of my decorating.
Get to know the real me.
The name is inspired by one of my favorite animals: the Olive Ridley sea turtle. They’re small but mighty, just like the businesses we work with. With their distinctive olive-colored shells and determined spirit, they’re the perfect symbol for what we do—helping small brands make a big impact.
