Meg is a curious creative based in Cape Town. She is an advocate for creative living - because life and design are so beautifully intertwined.
Meg creates under two sub-brands, namely MegKaylor, which focuses on her product design career, and Silly Goose Agendas, which is is a series of playful and explorative artworks featuring allegorical figures of geese, or “silly gooses.” At the heart of the series is Silly Goose, an allegorical character representing the artist herself. Through this character, the artist captures memories, experiences, emotions, and perspectives in a whimsical yet deeply reflective manner. The human experience is a tapestry of moments - complex, layered, blurred, and at times overwhelming. Yet, amidst the chaos lies a poetic simplicity: the idea that “life is simply for living.”
Meg’s work seeks to convey this duality, embracing the intricacies of human experience while distilling them into moments of playful clarity.
This collection draws inspiration from Meg’s life and travels, highlighting the intersections between work and play, connections across cultures, and the simultaneous highs and lows that shape our lives.
Through this collection Meg has stepped out of her comfort zone, moving beyond her usual structured UX/UI work to experiment with diverse materials and fantastical ideas - creating a playground of reflection for herself and “The Silly Goose”. The result invites the observer to engage in a similar sense of exploration - piecing together their own “puzzle” of the human experience, even if the pieces don’t seem to fit perfectly.
Meg is also the cofounder of a young collective called Side Quest Studios, founded with her creative partner Tamara Weetman (OhWeetie). Through this collective, these two creatives purposefully step away from the digital world they are so often a part of, to explore playful creation though various means of print-making methods, ink work, paint and other mixed-media.
