Maegan Beck (she/her) is a product designer, independent researcher, and art writer based in Tiohtià:ke / Montréal, CA.
Trained across disciplines, I bring a holistic, visually attuned perspective to every project.
about
Working at the intersections of design, praxis, and affect, my work examines how interfaces remember—transforming archival and artistic research into interactive experiences that merge poetics, embodiment, and digital design.
Drawing from visual culture and embodied research, I build digital spaces that feel as thoughtful as they are functional. Each project seeks to transform theory into practice—crafting experiences where users don’t just navigate information, but feel its resonance.
