Megan Dougherty

Interior Designer

While architects take a wide angle view of their projects, interior designers are often the ones creating those memorable, tactile details that a building’s residents, workers, or guests remember. At Martin Simmons Sweers, Megan is the interior designer who helps clients translate the style, layout, functionality, technology, and feeling they want from their space into a practical reality. Megan’s detail-driven personality allows her to stay organized and diligent – something her clients quickly appreciate given the host of design decisions required on a daily basis. Her drive for innovation and highly personalized, unique projects will help spaces stand out, while also standing the test of time. “Interior design is a way of making art; it is a self-expression that allows me to create something real that can be enjoyed and experienced.” Personally, Megan draws inspiration from the natural world while she enjoys her hobby of gardening as well as hiking with her dog. She says, “nature organically creates design elements that we, as humans, are instinctively drawn to and help us feel inherently comfortable.”

“My motto is design should be functional yet inspiring. And that is true for any building type or size of space,” Megan explains.

“The Hampton Inn, Charlottetown P.E.I, was a favourite project of mine. It's concept and colour palette was driven from the culture and natural environment surrounding the build. Prince Edward Island's famous red sandy beaches led to a palette of warm earthy tones, showcased throughout the interiors.”
