Meghan was trained as an industrial designer at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where she continues to live with her husband, 2 cats and a dog. With a love of how things are made, she is constantly fighting the desire to bring home all the poor, lost and broken chairs of the world. She spends a lot of time knitting, reading and picking up new hobbies.
Meghan exhibited a well received chair design at the 2003 International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), and still wishes for space to manufacture them. Currently spending her time creating and learning all the ins and outs of buying a house, she spends her days amid papers and emails, and nights among assorted materials from wood, yarn, metal, fabric and paint.
Sometimes working in collaboration with her husband, she is constantly inspired by him. Once they buy that house, they will have multiple studios: a messy one, a clean one, a fabric/yarn one, a computer one; and hopefully they will all have heat.

S.I.T (Secession of Inner Tubes)
Steel Tubing, 16" Bicycle Inner Tubes & Cotton Webbing
2003
S.I.T. came from an epiphany- "bicycle inner tubes"
The design is focused on the accentuation of a ready-made material in a novel way, as furniture. The elegantly simple bends in the steel tubing suspend the user comfortably on an air filled pillow of tubes constricted by the warmth of cotton webbing. These inner tubes have seceded from their former association with a bicycle to form a new entity, one in which they are the focus of the activity.
