Megan Ray
Founder | Creative Director | Operations
Megan Ray is the founder and creative force behind 3 Little Bird Design. She oversees the vision and direction of the brand, leading product design, business operations, and strategic growth. Megan’s passion for creativity and entrepreneurship drives the development of unique apparel, custom designs, and specialty merchandise that reflect both personal expression and community pride.
In addition to running 3 Little Bird Design, Megan brings extensive experience in organization, project management, and business operations, ensuring that every aspect of the company, from design concepts to production and customer experience, runs smoothly. Her love for design, community involvement, and small business innovation is at the heart of the brand.
Megan lives in the Kansas City area with her family and is deeply involved in the local community, particularly through youth sports and school organizations. Her goal for 3 Little Bird Design is simple: create meaningful designs that people love to wear and share.
Founded in 2021, 3 Little Bird Design began as a small online boutique based in Overland Park, Kansas, fueled by creativity, humor, and a desire to make meaningful connections through design. What started as a passion project quickly grew into something more, as our message resonated with customers looking for products that felt relatable, honest, and a little bit bold.
Over the years, we’ve expanded our online offerings and proudly opened several physical boutique locations, allowing customers to experience our products in person. From apparel and accessories to thoughtfully designed gifts, every item is created with intention and personality.
At 3 Little Bird Design, we believe the best gifts do more than look good, they feel good.
Every product we create is rooted in promoting positive mental health, meaningful connection, and the simple joy of giving. Whether it’s a reminder to slow down, a little encouragement on a hard day, or a gift that says “I saw this and thought of you,” our designs are meant to lift spirits and spark smiles.
3 Little Bird Design is powered by real people, real stories, and a shared love for creating things that matter.
Behind every design is a small, hands-on team of creatives, organizers, and community-minded doers who believe in using design as a force for good.
Each person involved brings something unique to the table, from design and production to coordination and fulfillment. What we all share is a passion for positivity, meaningful connection, and building something that gives back, whether that’s through mental-health-focused messaging, thoughtful gift-giving, or celebrating Blue Valley Northwest pride.
We’re not a big-box brand, and we like it that way. We’re personal, intentional, and deeply connected to the community we serve, and that shows in everything we create.
