Creative Problem Solver

with a passion for innovation, the discipline to achieve excellence, and the ability to adapt in any situation.

Hello

My name is Meghan Shaulis and I am a creative problem solver. I do not shy from a challenge but take on troubleshooting with enthusiasm. I started in photography and quickly took on more responsibility as my career grew. I now specialize in UX/UI design and focus my efforts on creating positive user experiences that not only function but look amazing.

I have had the honor of working with an incredible team at the most established advertising agency in Montana, the Wendt Agency. They have provided me with so many opportunities and supported me in my drive to be a lifelong learner.  I will always be grateful for the family they have become but am eager to spread my wings and take on this next phase in life.

I am excited to announce that we have moved to Los Angeles! My husband, 4-year-old daughter, and I have uprooted our lives in Great Falls, Montana to be closer to family and expand our career pursuits. I am looking for a company that I can get behind. I am a person of great aspirations and want to work for a company that reflects my core values, integrity, continual learning, and creativity.
