ABOUT THE STUDIO

Hi I'm Meg

Founder, Verified Shopify Partner & Professional Website Whisperer

Since 2015, I’ve been helping businesses turn their online presence from “meh” to “wow” – whether that’s rescuing a website that’s seen better days or building something beautiful from scratch.

Some clients find me when their current website is making them cringe every time someone asks for their URL. Others are just starting out and need someone to hold their hand through the whole “how do I internet?” process without making them feel like they need a computer science degree.

The Story behind the name

Why Nutmeg?

Nutmeg is this magical little seed that’s all about clarity, confidence, and inner fire (basically, everything I want your website to give you). The name stuck because that’s exactly how you should feel about your online presence: grounded, confident, and ready to take on the world.

My superpower? Making Shopify stores that don’t require a computer science degree to understand.

how it started

Back in 2015, I was thrown into the deep end of eCommerce while working at a digital marketing agency

With zero Shopify experience, my boss tasked me with building a 200 product Shopify store. What could go wrong?

Turns out, with enough determination and late-night Googling (with some tears thrown in the mix), quite a lot could go right. That first store I ever built launched successfully, ranked well, and taught me that great websites aren’t about perfect code – they’re about understanding real businesses and real people.

"I want to take a moment to thank you on the fantastic, seamless, professional, and truly outstanding job you have done on transforming our website into the beautiful and easily navigable site that it is today.

Never in my working career has such a massive undertaking been done so seamlessly!"

Cathy De Dominicis, Eden Perfumes

"Working with Megan at Nutmeg Studio to build our Shopify store for Fruitful® was an absolute pleasure.

The whole experience was smooth and professional from start to finish. Everything was communicated clearly and we especially appreciated the video updates she shared throughout the design process, which made it easy to understand and follow.The final website couldn’t be better in terms of both design and navigation. Megan was always willing to listen and take on feedback, while also bringing incredibly helpful and insightful suggestions to the table that helped our ideas.Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we’d love to work with her again in the future."

"I had the pleasure of working with Meg, who helped me redevelop our website using the Shopify platform.

Her knowledge of Shopify’s technicalities, and her ability to create a not only functional but visually beautiful website, was beyond expectations. She is incredibly patient, willing to help and importantly able to explain things in a very clear manner. Meg created an amazing video library which I am always referring back to in order to manage the website myself as much as possible. I often still get stuck and will call on her expertise when I do. I can highly recommend Meg to help you create a gorgeous website for your business. Thanks Meg."

“We can’t speak highly enough about Megan and Nutmeg Design Studio!

We are a small boutique travel agency located in Southern California, USA that was looking for someone to re-imagine our website after 10 years. We interviewed multiple design companies and from the moment we connected with Megan over the phone, we knew we had found someone who could elevate our business to represent where we are today. After an initial strategy meeting, Megan came up with a detailed development plan and was very attentive to all our comments, change requests and at times demanding timelines. Nutmeg Design is highly professional and offers beautiful design ideas . We highly recommend Nutmeg Studio to anyone looking to create a website that can compete on the web.”

Her ideas showed that she had vast experience in producing the best information possible about my brand, while also delivering on the importance of an appealing aesthetic with an easy-to-navigate format.I highly recommend Meg for her professional approach which included prompt turnaround times and clear communication and assistance at every turn.Having a website that is informative, appealing and has good SEO is a game changer for any business and Meg is the right person to get the job done.”
