Background
Megan is a planner and urban designer who knows how to turn complex projects into clear, compelling graphics and documents. At ZoneCo, she manages the firm’s qualifications packages, proposals, and marketing materials.
Before joining ZoneCo in 2026, Megan ran her own planning and design consultancy for nearly a decade. She took projects from early visioning and feasibility through detailed planning and graphic documentation, and produced branded collateral and competitive proposals for private-sector clients. Her work covered commercial, mixed-use, master planning, and urban design projects across Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Texas, and West Virginia. Before that, she spent more than a decade as a planner and urban designer at regional design firms, where she worked on master plans, downtown and district strategies, and corridor redevelopment for public and private clients.
Leadership
Megan served on the Executive Local Host Committee and chaired tours for CNU 32, the 32nd annual Congress for the New Urbanism.
Megan has taught planning graphics and first-year studios as an adjunct professor at the University of Cincinnati’s School of Planning, and she is a frequent guest critic there. She has facilitated community charrettes and workshops, including the Over-the-Rhine Urban Infill Charrette, the Wasson Way Community Charrette, and the Lower Price Hill Riverfront Park Workshop.
