Welcome to Creating Yourself

Hi, I’m Megan O’Neill. I’m a Content Designer, writer, amateur illustrator, animator, and letterpress printer—and I recently completed my master’s in Happiness Studies.

My work in Happiness Studies sent me down a rabbit hole, learning about the connection between wellbeing and some of the things I love most: words and creativity. Now I'm ready to share what I've learned (and am still learning) with others, through articles, videos, online courses, and more.

What does Create Yourself mean?

Create yourself is intended to be read two ways:

The first is about becoming. It’s the idea that you have the power to create your identity and your reality through what you think, say, and do—the power to create your actual self.

The second is about making things on your own. Now that AI can basically create anything for you, I’ve grown increasingly curious about the impact AI usage has on our sense of ownership, accomplishment, and wellbeing, versus actually creating things on our own.
