Megan Hess was destined to draw. An initial career in graphic design transcended into art direction for some of the world’s leading advertising agencies and Art Direction for Liberty Department store in London. 

In 2006 Hess illustrated the New York Times' number one-selling book, ‘Sex and The City.’ When Megan started illustrating portraits for TIME magazine, they described her work as: “Love at first sight. Megan has a unique way of capturing a likeness while also conveying a sense of the person through her line work. And her execution is perfect”.

After the release of Candace Bushnell’s book, Hess was catapulted onto the world stage and began illustrating Portraits for the New York Times, Italian Vogue, and Vanity Fair Magazine. Megan’s skills have been deployed by Bergdorf Goodman, New York, to create a signature look for the prestigious department store.
