✨MEET MEG✨

Meg is the maker behind 🕯 meg opened her boutique in high school as a depop shop to sell old clothing on. it helped her make a few extra bucks alongside her part-time job. it wasn’t until covid-19 hit that she turned it into a full-blown business. after previously dabbling in photography, journalism, public relations, and social media management via kinda cool magazine, the wildly well-received publication she founded at age 16, she decided she needed to do something else to keep her busy during quarantine. live music had hit a pause, so there wasn’t much music-related content to produce. naturally, she turned to her depop shop and made it into a website/instagram selling page. To find out more about megs products follow her on Instagram or wait until the 03rd issue to see her take on community 👖
