MEGAN MILLER


ABOUT Hi! My name is Megan Miller. I was born and raised in Kaysville, Utah and earned a BFA in Graphic Design from Weber State University. My design style is simple with a splash of sass. I love working in clean, friendly environments that challenge me to do my best. The knowledge gained from my past experience has sculpted my ability to work efficiently and apply my unique creativity on a team or on my own. Like other humans on this planet, there is more to me than just what I do for a living. I've loved Mario for as long as I can remember, and I'm not too shabby with the controller either. I've played the alto sax for over a decade and have been involved in band programs since junior high with numerous leadership roles. I'm an avid jigsaw puzzler and always have one out to work on. I love to laugh, eat, sleep and have a good time.

Spencer just can’t get it right. He feels like a curse has been placed on him. Every day is something different: fatal allergic reaction, car accident, avalanche, or even drowining in the community pool. Every time he tries to hook up with Jenny, he ends up dead. Luckily for him, he keeps getting multiple chances. With Spencer’s day starting over after each tragic episode, how many days will it take for him to finally do it right?
