A Little Different
By design.
I have a decade of experience shaping strategic, systems-level design. My work centers on SaaS platforms, with impact across consumer finance, developer tools, legal compliance, and enterprise machine learning.
My approach bridges user needs, product goals, and business outcomes, turning complex (and often messy) problems into real growth, retention, and lasting customer loyalty, backed by a track record improving user adoption by 300%, reducing churn, and driving $4M+ revenue impact.
I care a lot about impact and ethics. Designing for meaningful change means confronting the complexity baked into outdated systems and making them usable again. I believe design holds both the power and responsibility to create that positive change.
Bad people only accomplish bad things when other bad people help build those bad things. I don't help bad people build bad things.
I contribute design thoughts, learnings, and perspectives on UX Collective, UX Bootcamp, Medium, and have spoken on design panels for UXDX and DesignX Community's "Design Leadership Summit" in January 2025. I've been featured in additional publications such as ADPList's newsletter, engaging hundreds of thousands of designers.
I’m passionate about supporting the design community. I released The Product Designer’s Interview Playbook, which reached over 600K designers globally.
I regularly mentor through OutInTech during the fall semesters and currently lead the Sustainable UX Network (SUX) community initiatives. Between October 2024 and January 2025, I mentored ~150 designers and taught a design strategy course on Maven.

What I love most about design is its chance to leave the world better than we found it. Even in small ways, design compounds over time — shaping bigger, better ways of solving our hardest problems.
At its best, design brings clarity to chaos, humanity to business, and storytelling to systems. It’s not about simplicity for its own sake, but about making complexity understandable, actionable, and human.
Design shapes how we move, what we understand, who gets included, and what becomes possible. It’s everywhere, quietly transforming daily life, industries, and even global movements.
As we face new digital challenges, from AI to misinformation, design carries a responsibility: to build trust, clarity, and connection in an increasingly complex world. It’s a commitment to use creativity and strategy as tools for positive change.
Good design makes space for what’s unseen and unmeasurable. User experience exists to defend the messy, vulnerable, and contradictory parts of being human.
"I love working with Meghan because she is not only thoughtful about her designs but drives them using data and best practices. She is one of the best storytellers I have had the pleasure of working with and works extremely hard to understand the users what their personas need in a way that makes a positive impact not only for our users but for our company. She also is super easy to work with and makes sure I have all of the information and assets I need as a developer to implement her designs."
“Meghan put out an amazing piece of work with her playbook, I love how the writings are warm, supportive but not condescending to junior, mid, senior level or just about anyone who is still figuring things out in this tough market. Thank you Meghan and all the other co-authors!"
"Meghan was an integral part of designing our MVP. She is great at capturing user needs and turning them into elegant designs. She works well with both developers and the business team. I loved partnering with Meghan."
"Meghan and I have worked on a variety of projects at Apollo, and her number one skill as a design partner is her ability to critically think through any problem a business is facing/might face. She is driven by data and analytical insights, and when this is mixed with her ability to create beautiful user interfaces, it creates for a stellar combo. You can always trust Meghan to work with all stakeholders to ensure there is proper buy-in across the organization. I greatly appreciate her natural inclination towards product-led growth and desire to consistently start from the perspective of truly understanding what customers want first and foremost."
"I can’t thank Meghan enough for the invaluable support and guidance she provided during my job search. Her structured process, insightful feedback, and well-crafted mock interviews helped me navigate a high-stress interview landscape with confidence. The templates and frameworks she shared weren’t just tools—they were a way to reframe my thinking, analyze my strengths, and approach each interview with clarity and strategy. Meghan’s expertise goes far beyond interview prep. She helps you see your value and show up as your strongest self. I can’t recommend her enough."
"Meghan was genuinely such a pleasure to work with. From the day she started, she displayed a strong willingness to learn and explore new concepts and ideas. Meghan is also a versatile designer; she is quick to adapt to new problem spaces and environments all while providing a thoughtful and elevated solution in the end. She also spearheaded several critical initiatives at Lever, laying the groundwork for a successful design team. I look forward to having the privilege to work with Meghan again in the future."
"I reached out to Meghan for advice during my job search and interview process. She gave me pragmatic feedback and concrete steps to improve my portfolio and draft interview responses. Meghan truly knows the industry. Thanks to her help I got the job I was applying for! I highly recommend Meghan as a mentor."
"Read Meghan Logan's new product design interview playbook.It's short, straight to the point, and helps you navigate what recruiters and hiring managers are looking for. And it's FREE. As a hiring manager, I couldn't agree more with the advice in there."
"I absolutely loved Meghan's course! It helped me identify my unique strengths as a designer, improve my storytelling, and sharpen my technical design interview skills. Meghan shared powerful techniques and frameworks for using various narrative arcs to communicate your story effectively and emphasize the impact of your work, even when metrics aren’t available to support it."
"I hired Meghan to help design my website. Meghan knocked it out of the park! I was so impressed with how she improved my website designs. She took a standard template I had put together and within a week the entire site had been overhauled and it was such an improvement. I'm very pleased with the work she produced and it was a joy working with her. I recommend!"
"Came across Meghan’s Design Interview playbook on Linkedin. It’s a really great resource! Thanks for sharing :). It's a great resource for our design team, especially as they work with other client organizations that have different needs than our own.”
“Meghan wrote a practical little guide to guide designers through each interview phase, with helpful tips and strategies on things to keep in mind, talking points, questions to ask, red flags to watch out for and how to tell a compelling story about yourself and your work. Kindly put together by Meghan Logan. 👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾"
"Meghan has an impressive ability to tackle complex systems design problems. She's a good storyteller, she runs her own research, she's constantly teaching herself new things and keeping up with industry trends. More than other folks, I think she approaches her role with fearlessness and the energy she brings can be the rising tide to lift boats around her. At Apollo, I have seen her build productive x-functional relationships and take initiative to own full business problems and champion design thinking time and time again. I think her ceiling is extremely high."
"I worked with Meghan during her time at Lever. Meghan and I were overseeing highly impactful product areas such as data compliance & privacy and User Access & Permissions. I have become a huge advocate for her as she displayed the ability to understand, extract, and synthesize customers’ needs through continuous discovery & research. Not only that but her raw horsepower coupled with strong user empathy bolstered our ability to develop scalable solutions that addressed the most complex user needs while keeping business objectives in sight."
"Meghan's Playbook is Such amazing work! Not only is this helpful for designers preparing for interviews but also insightful on different interview styles of hiring managers. Thanks for sharing this!"
"Meghan was my Out in Tech mentor last fall, and truly the best I could’ve asked for. Over our 8 weeks together, she was incredibly patient, supportive, and consistently helped me stay focused on the goals we set. Her guidance deepened my understanding of the tech industry’s many paths, and gave me the tools to confidently bring together design, UI principles, and performance expectations in a mock product requirements doc. When we started, I had no idea what to expect from post-grad life—now, as I job hunt, I feel confident and prepared to step into the professional world."
