HEY,
I’m
MEGAN!
I’m the owner of Dusty Rose Designs, a wedding stationery business that began as a side hustle back in 2015 – squeezed in around my job as a bank teller and a very big creative itch.
Like most beginners, I spent the early years figuring things out the hard way. There was no clear roadmap, no mentor and a lot of trial-and-error behind the scenes. It wasn’t until 2020, when I put the right systems and structure in place, that everything changed. By the following year, I was able to step into my business full-time – with clarity, confidence and a way of working that actually fit my life.
Daydream to Design was created for creatives exactly where I once was – working a 9–5, dreaming of something more, and wanting a stationery side hustle that feels exciting and sustainable.
If you’re craving time to create, structure to follow and a supportive place to start, you’re in the right hands.
Let’s make this the year your daydream finally turns into design ✨
