Sonora Studios is Meredy’s channel for building brands with soul—where strategy meets artistry, and every project is shaped by lived experience, deep curiosity, and a reverence for beauty.

She has developed brand narratives and positioning strategies that have helped clients earn national recognition, including legal industry awards, features, and high-profile placements.

Meredy holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from California Polytechnic State University, complemented by extensive training in business, marketing, and communications. She brings a rare blend of creative vision, operational precision, and technical fluency to her work—combining high-level strategy with hands-on execution across branding, design, and systems. Known for pairing conceptual thinking with meticulous attention to detail, Meredy builds brands that function as complete ecosystems—visually striking, strategically sound, and designed to grow.

A California native, Meredy grew up in the mountains of Sonora, where her creative roots were shaped by nature, history, and a deep appreciation for story and place.
