Maegan is a strong believer that we make your own opportunities. Her advice to any young designer is to “create the work you want to be doing to show people what you’re capable of.”

She describes her process by saying “a big part of any project or anything I do is to start with history, and often an object encapsulates the life it has already lived.”

Manapan is the first of its kind in the furniture business and Mark White, the founder of Manapan Furniture, can attribute this to his desire to “give back”.
