My most recent role as Lead Product Designer at design studio Upperstudy involved mentoring early-career product designers, while at Practica, I was the founding designer, leading the 0-1 design of the edtech platform to uplevel employees’ skill sets. I’m currently providing design services through my company Like Minds to AI startups and I currently work at Webflow.
I live in San Francisco, California with my dog Zu. When not designing, I enjoy studying psychology, learning Spanish, and staying active by running.

Designing a HR SaaS platform and a B2B model
As we scaled the business, it became more and more clear to us that most of our revenue was from larger team accounts, so we had to pivot and really understand the buyer’s expectations, which included building out an HR toolset to use alongside the coaching offering. Shoutout to Diego Glusberg for working on this together and Kenny Chiem, L&D Manager at Strava for collaborating with us throughout this process.

<aside> 💬 *“The single word that I'd use to describe Meghan as a product designer is "range". Meghan can take a complex and business-critical feature, understand it deeply, and push it forward thoughtfully. Also, she can also go from 0 to 1 on a brand new feature or idea and take it from user research to concepts to prototypes to mocks and implementation.
On top of that, Meghan refuses to be blocked and she is fearless to learn any new tool or technology. She surprised us by contributing directly to our codebase rather than waiting for an engineer to do the design polish and tweaks that she wanted to see. When she needed to build something from scratch, she introduced Webflow into our stack. Meghan's leadership and collaboration skills also shined on our team. She introduced numerous lasting rituals that helped us to forge deeper bonds and build love for each other as complete humans.
Meghan is the kind of selfless teammate that does high-quality work in a way that amplifies everyone's contributions. She has my highest recommendation. I can't wait for the chance to work with her again someday.”*

Collaborated with Practica on designs for their AI Coach. This AI tool was developed drawing upon insights and methodologies from thousands of real-life coaching sessions.
<aside> 💬 “The AI’s methodology mixes together a number of coaching tools, including instruction, questioning for context, finding present challenges in the learner’s job to use as learning materials, mapping learning progress to the learner’s career goals, and celebrating wins along the way. It finds the appropriate material, organizes the insights from those materials into a list that the user can interact with, and adds notes you can reference later.
Plus, unlike today’s generalized AI chatbots, Practica’s AI remembers the learner’s history so it can build on their skills as they continue to use the service.
“You can have generalized system instructions, but it’s not really memorizing what it needs to know about you from one session to the next,” says Whittemore, comparing Practica to general-purpose AI chatbots. “We try to be very intentional about that…we remember how you’ve been developing over time so that we can continue to coach really well — the same way a human coach would.”
