Megan Jankovec | Director, Furniture Design

Hi there! I’m a Chicago–based Furniture Designer focused on creating intentional, well-crafted pieces that bring comfort, function, and style into people’s homes.

I earned my BFA in Industrial Design from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and am currently the Director of Furniture Design at American Leather/Benchmade Modern. I lead product development from concept to launch and help shape creative direction across photoshoots, site merchandising, marketing, and web/print graphic design.

I’ve previously worked with Lulu and Georgia and Interior Define, with experience spanning from direct-to-consumer, trade, hospitality, and healthcare industries.

Thanks for stopping by. If you’d like to connect, reach out below!

Hayley looking incredibly cozy in this moody green velvet 🤩
No design credit warranted here, but I did buy it and somehow end up in the photoshoot…maybe once I clean my living room I can share how I styled Tyler in my lil apartment 💕🤔
Hayes Bed // classic, tailored, and streamlined ✨
Tyler Slipper Chair // Where modern meets classic, this armless chair features clean lines, tufted buttons, and a chic exposed leg.
The Hayley Sofa // Hayley’s fully upholstered, modern silhouette is paired with cozy elements like loose pillows, bridging a lived-in feel with a more structured look. See some behind the scenes of silhouette exploration.
The Hayley Sofa // Hayley provides a supportive sit while keeping with its casual look. It’s a collection that’s equal parts clean and inviting.
The Hayley Sofa // Soft, angled arms are made for curling up—you can even choose from multiple arm widths to suit your own comfort and aesthetic. See some behind the scenes of arm shape exploration.
