Megan Murphy
Hi, I'm Megan Murphy, a data/social media junkie and graduate of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.
I'm an ambitious, impassioned and detail-oriented thinker. Inspired by the complex, interior thought process that leads to consumer decision and the visual symbols that influence these choices, I value insights and details that are commonly overlooked or unspoken. Captivated by fashion design and its ability to communicate powerful messages about and for the wearer, I find non-verbal methods of human interaction the most intriguing, especially in a world of constant and ever-increasing chatter.
