We had the good fortune of connecting with Maegan Swabb and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Maegan, have there been any changes in how you think about work-life balance?
My life drastically changed when I gave birth to my now 7 year old little girl. I am extremely passionate about what I do and found myself often working until 2am simply by losing track of the time.

Once she was a force in my life I felt I had to balance my energy as a mother, which I am also passionate about with my first baby – my business.

She keeps me grounded, I love picking her up from school and having regular dinner dates and sharing new experiences together.

I also find time for myself by scheduling trips and small adventures alone or with friends and family so I stay grounded and always inspired.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
At M. Swabb, we’ve always known that the spaces in which we live and work can have a profound effect on our emotional, mental and physical well-being. We strive to work with you on a deeper level in order to bring more good into your life. This fresh and intensely personal approach to design starts with setting intentions, establishing goals and working together to make sure that your surroundings bring you a sense of peace, feelings of joy and an abundance of goodness each and every day.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Fun!

I love the University / Normal Heights area and frequent many places such as Polite Provisions, Madison and Muzita ( I love ethnic food).

I can be found hiking on the weekends in mission trails or getting inspired at Balboa park I also love the San Diego Beaches – specifically Coronado.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I have to dedicate my success to those who have helped me build it, all the designers, contractors, subs and carpenters that come with fresh energy and really care about and want to be apart of what I’m building. All the clients that keep me inspired and motivated and of course my little girl who makes me set a standard for living and an example to live by.
