What's in a name...

why nutmeg?

Loving the sound of the word… But also its meaning:

Nutmeg – a warm and powerful medicinal spice. Healing properties include the ability to relieve pain and insomnia, instill calm and revive. According to folk lore, this magical spice brings good luck and prosperity.

About the studio

Meet Megan - Founder and lead web/ux designer

Have you ever visited a website and there’s just too much going on? Too many choices, videos, popups, copy, adverts, noise.
Too much of everything. It feels like someone had no real plan about what to put on their website – so they put it all.

I hate websites like that. And mostly, visitors who land on those sites tend to leave quickly; they simply don’t have time to sift through all the clutter and overwhelm.

Uncluttered, easy-to-use and navigate websites are a breath of fresh air in our loud and busy world. They are designed with care and attention to detail, to support business goals, and they lead to more conversions because the customer’s journey has been thoughtfully and strategically designed. Those are the types of websites I love designing and developing.

about Megan

  • For over 13 years, I've been working in the worlds of eCommerce, digital marketing, communications and web design.
  • I was part of the agency team that managed the digital marketing and eCommerce website for one of South Africa's biggest nationwide car rental companies. This included managing a major website redesign and move to a new, custom-built eCommerce platform.
  • I designed and built my first Shopify eCommerce website in 2015 (for a business selling mountain bikes). That website went on to rank at the top of Google due to the SEO and content marketing work I did, leading to a significant increase in high-value organic sales for the business (without a cent spent on pay per click advertising).
  • Since launching my business in 2018, I've helped 20+ businesses launch and grow their websites.
  • I have a Bachelor's degree in Media & Communications and in my early career worked as a journalist and editor in media and publishing, in South Africa and the UK, before transitioning to digital marketing, website design and eCommerce.
  • I am a passionate User Experience (UX) Designer. UX design is about understanding the various ways your target audiences use your website and how you want them to use your website in order to maximise online sales.
  • I'm currently studying to become a Conversion Optimisation Specialist with the world's best digital marketing institute - CXL. Watch this space...
