Design is everywhere; it’s inside all of us. Being creative can come through in many different lights.
MegZany is a street artist and curator widely known for her street art and public service campaigns promoting equality and creativity. Described by CMT as “50% bright-eyed, 50% bad-ass,” MegZany is one of the most dynamic street artists working today.
MegZany’s career as a street artist started in her hometown of Los Angeles in 2016 and has since expanded into a multidisciplinary art practice that centers the rise of higher consciousness—listening to your inner soul, being one with nature, understanding there is more to life than a rat race, to love and be loved, and helping others. Her work represents self-care in the way of a wake-up call urging viewers to act out of courage and carry out their purpose, as represented in MegZany’s infamous self-sanctioned street art pieces “Courage Has No Gender,” “Women Are All The Things,” “Swim To The Beat Of Your Own Current,” and “Your Imprints On Others Echo The Halls Of Eternity.”

MegZany always considered herself an artist and soon realized she would rather pursue her creative passions and spread messages of empowerment, equality, and courage to achieve new societal norms than work in the corporate world.
After being introduced to legendary street artist WRDSMTH at a gallery show, she began her career as a street artist. Under the guidance of WRDSMTH, MegZany created her first art piece, an 8 feet wide by 4 feet high image of a banner-carrying biplane with the message “Turn Signals are Back in Style.” MegZany refers to completing this work as her “all-in” moment, and she dissolved her recruiting company the same day.

MegZany now uses art as a platform to fight for equality. Her work includes commercial commissions, which she only takes on if the company she’s collaborating with expresses positive messages that align with her brand.
She has collaborated with Dave Navarro, YBN Nahmir, Graffiti writer Risk Rock, Phoebe New York, TOMS, Coach, Fox Searchlight, and Netflix. Since her start in 2016, MegZany has been featured in The Huffington Post, Daily Dot, and Street Art Stories on CMT.

MegZany’s art can be found in galleries and on building walls worldwide, incorporating her values and delivering public messages that promote a higher quality of life for everyone. MegZany believes that art plays a vital role in the collective rise of communities. Currently, MegZany is working on large-scale sculptures and curating exhibitions out of her Los Angeles studio and gallery.
MegZany is also working on expanding her market by experimenting with non-fungible tokens (NFT) and other unique digital assets. Rooted in her desire for people to be happy, equal, and invest in themselves when pursuing their dreams, MegZany brings her entrepreneurial spirit into her work as an artist, curator, and community advocate.
