About Us

Morgan, co-founder of construction2style (c2s) alongside her husband Jamie. As a wife, mother of three, and co-founder of c2s, Morgan epitomizes creativity and innovation. Their journey began with a humble blog, evolving into a thriving design + build firm, construction2style. Their venture expanded further, launching Neon Lion, a dynamic media company, and giving those a voice who deserve a second chance by forming a non-profit initiative named resilience2reform. These endeavors collectively span nearly a decade, showcasing Morgan's commitment to transformative design, media, marketing, and community impact.

Her passion for the community over competition led to spearheading online courses, in-house marketing workshops, and national industry conferences, such as the Contractor Coalition Summit. Always eager to share her insights and strategies with others.

A forward thinker and risk-taker at heart, Morgan finds pure joy in contributing to people's dreams and lives. Her infectious smile and vibrant energy resonate through their work, crafting dream spaces for clients or guiding colleagues through marketing endeavors.

Together with Jamie, they've revolutionized the industry, from sharing their home lifestyle to providing invaluable insights into design, construction, marketing, community, and their team's lifestyle. Their dedication to authenticity and transparency has been a guiding principle of construction2style since 2012.

Nothing feels better to Meg than sitting down at a desk littered in plans with her red mark-up pen, yellow SharpWriter pencil, and laptop close at hand. She loves to create and she have found nothing to be as fulfilling as watching her creations come to life.

Meg graduated at the top of her class from Weber State University, as one of only two women in the Manufacturing Engineering program. She has been trained in the following 3D software packages: ArchiCAD, Catia, Solidworks, and Inventor.

She can hold her own with a MIG welder and can balance a metal lathe chuck like no one’s business. She's worked on the engineering team at Chromalox for two years, designing immersion heaters, before postponing her career to have a family.

Meg & her husband Tyler now have four kids chock-full of personality, mess, and laughter.
While designing and building their dream home and getting the opportunity to be involved with the ins and outs of general contracting, she realized how much she loved the details and possibilities of the process.

This retreat exists because women in construction often work in isolation, juggling client demands, complexity, and leadership pressure—sometimes at the cost of burnout or losing parts of themselves. 

• Authentic connection — It's not surface-level networking. It's soul-level check-ins, support, and breakthroughs. Attendees share deeply, from personal grief to leadership limits, and find themselves met with grace, understanding, and aligned purpose.
• Small-group intimacy — Held in a stunning Costa Rica villa, the retreat keeps the group tight enough for real bonds to form, not just random table introductions.
• Growth — Mornings are for learning—all led by women excelling in construction, marketing, client management. Afternoons? Surfing, yoga, bonding, and explorative experiences that re-center and rewire how you show up.
