Meet Merritt:

Merritt discovered her passion for brand storytelling while working for a nonprofit in high school. That discovery led her to major in advertising at the University of Georgia, where she fell in love with campaign strategy and graphic design. After graduating in May 2026, she went through the See.Spark.Go internship program and then transitioned to a full-time role as a project coordinator. Outside of work, Merritt loves treasure hunting at thrift stores, trying new recipes and spending time with her favorite people, talking about anything and everything.
