Meg Merk - Accessory Designer

I am an adaptable accessory designer skilled at shaping concepts into refined, functional pieces that meet the needs of any client or creative direction. My process blends strong research, thoughtful storytelling, and technical precision to bring each design to life.
Current Accessory Design student at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I focus on high-end, concept-driven accessories. My work is rooted in visual storytelling and sculptural experimentation. I’m drawn to accessory design because it sits between fashion, function, and art. Each design I create begins with a strong concept, often inspired by historical references, anatomy, or abstract forms. From there, I use my skills in drawing, prototyping, and construction to bring those ideas to life in a way that feels both refined and unexpected.
My foundation in fine art and illustration plays a major role in my process, from sketching and ideation to texture and finish, allowing me to approach design with both creative depth and technical sensitivity.
