Hi, I’m Meghan Byrnes-Borderan.
I’ve spent my career helping organizations design and launch new products, modernize digital experiences, and navigate moments of technological change.
Over the past fifteen plus years I’ve worked with companies across financial services, aviation, healthcare, and technology to rethink how products and services are imagined, built, and brought to market. Much of that work has happened during periods of industry disruption—when new technologies are emerging and companies are trying to understand what the next version of their business should look like.
Today I’m an Executive Director at Designit, where I lead multidisciplinary teams working at the intersection of strategy, design, and technology.
Before joining Designit, I spent nearly a decade at Capco, a global consulting firm, where I helped build and lead design teams while partnering with financial institutions navigating the rapid evolution of digital banking and fintech.
Earlier in my career I worked in product design roles at companies including Softcard and Jibe, helping bring early mobile products and digital services to market during the first wave of smartphone-driven innovation.
My Approach
Build things, don’t just talk about them
I’m drawn to people and teams who like making things real. Ideas are easy—execution is where the interesting work happens.
Practical beats theoretical
Great ideas only matter if they can actually work inside a real organization. I focus on solutions teams can build, run, and evolve.
Experiment your way to answers
Breakthroughs rarely arrive as fully formed strategies. They emerge through small experiments, unexpected signals, and a willingness to try things.
Move fast and figure it out
I believe in momentum over perfection. The fastest way to clarity is to put something real in the world and learn from it.
Cut through the noise
Modern organizations are drowning in complexity. My job is often helping teams simplify, focus, and move forward with confidence.
Stay relentlessly human
Technology changes fast, but people don’t. Whether I’m designing products or leading teams, I focus on understanding how people actually think, work, and collaborate.
LIFE OUTSIDE OF WORKOutside of work, my creativity tends to show up in more analog ways. I’m growing more than 8,000 tulips in my backyard each spring and keeping bees, which means a good portion of my free time involves dirt, weather, and systems that do not really care about my plans.
At home life is energetic and a little chaotic. Our two boys split their time between soccer, basketball, gaming, and increasingly creative uses of AI for their homework. Like most parents, we spend plenty of time negotiating screen time, but it also means our house is a constant front-row seat to how quickly technology is changing the way the next generation learns and solves problems.
Between the garden, the bees, and the kids, I spend a lot of time thinking about systems—natural and digital—and about what skills will actually matter in a world that AI is rapidly reshaping.
