About

Make it Pretty

“Make it Pretty” is our company mission at Princess Lasertron, my personal inspiration, and the outlook that drives all of my goals, strategy, and design. “Make it Pretty” is about how EASY it is to inject a little more beauty, a little more polish and style, and a little more quality into your life just by being present in it. To be conscious of your moment-by-moment decisions, to pay attention to detail, to understand your life and your self as a precious gift to the world–that is what Make it Pretty means. It’s being your best self every day–whatever your personal best is.

The Company

I started Princess Lasertron in 2005 creating custom bouquets out of felt, vintage buttons, and other ephemera. When word about my original felt and button bouquet design started spreading through magazines, blogs, and my fantastic customers, it took the wedding world by storm and led to hundreds of other opportunities that I have followed down this six-year path to living my dream. Since our early beginnings, Princess Lasertron has grown to a three-person company that serves over 250 brides each year. Our line has expanded from simple hairpieces and brooches to gowns, bouquets, diy craft kits and the Princess Lasertron brand has reached hundreds of thousands of brides through magazines, television, and online media.

Our trademark combination of handcrafted design and business prowess with a dash of magic has earned us cult celebrity status in the wedding industry. I love giving my customers an heirloom-quality piece that will bring a personal dimension to their wedding and everyday lives. What I love most about my job is meeting and collaborating with unique women whose weddings are a true representation of them and their partners.

If you’d like to learn more about placing a custom order, please fill out our bridal inquiry form and we will get back to you asap about our pricing and availability. Or if you’re a craftier type, you can order your own Princess Lasertron Felt Flower Bouquet Kit™ and try your own hand at creating a custom masterpiece for yourself!

The Space

CAMP, Omaha’s first coworking facility located in North Downtown, Omaha, is a space I own and share with several of my closest friends in the local design community. We encourage you to check out that link and come for a visit! We often host parties, speakers, and other events, but most of all we work hard and help each other out. This is a picture from the buildout process last Spring of me with my bff Eric Downs. You can see updated pictures of CAMP on its Flickr page.

I live in Dundee with my multi-talented husband, David Homan, our baby Alice, our crybaby kitty Turbo, five computers and an Xbox 360. I’m not home much–Alice comes to work with me every day and I spent most nights at CAMP getting ready for upcoming events or finishing bridal orders. But when I am, I love experiencing the beautiful scenery and sweet local businesses around my neighborhood.

Hire me to Speak!

In my life I’ve had the most wonderful series of opportunities to lead me to where I am now and I have taken lessons from every experience to share with you! Let me explain a little bit about my background.

I started out studying to become a journalist. After winning several awards as a column and feature writer and working for a local newspaper and news radio station, I applied for a job as a high school speech coach and worked there for four years. In college I started Princess Lasertron as an outlet for my creative and artistic energy, which soon became a full-time job as my list of bridal clients and the demand for my custom designs continued to grow. In 2010 I founded Omaha’s first creative coworking space, CAMP, to provide a space for independent business owners like me to focus on collaboration and creativity while growing their businesses. I have also served as an adviser in planning many local conferences and events and am one of the organizers for Omaha’s annual Barcamp event. My online presence began in 1995 when I started my first blog, which fed my lifelong interest in self-development, building relationships, identity, and marketing.

I love to speak about marketing yourself by being yourself, creating the life you want, and falling in love with the world! I am podium-free, engaging, and I also provide free recordings of the session and downloadable notes for your audience.

To book me as a speaker, use our contact form and I will be in touch within a few days. Here is a list of some of my favorite talks in the past, and some nice words from a few industry leaders who have seen me speak!

The Hype

“I’ve had the good fortune of both speaking with, and listing to Megan speak on many occasions, and it’s always a pleasure. Sometimes serious, sometimes feisty, sometimes funny – but always passionate. Her’s is an incredible story of starting, personal branding and creativity, and her love of her work, friends, family and community shine through.”

Dusty Davidson, Co-Founder, Silicon Prairie News and Big Omaha

“Think of your fondest, most relaxed conversation with a good friend over coffee. Then add a little spunk to the story. That’s the unique and entertaining presentation style of Megan Hunt. Megan shares what she knows in a conversational style that is as refreshing as it is engaging. But more than talking about her own experiences, her passions, and her business, Megan love conversing with the audience just as much (if not more).”

Wendy Townley, Author, Nerdy Thirty

“Megan is an endearing mix of ‘classy’, ‘candid’ and ‘fiesty’. The best connection to any audience goes through the gates of common ground; a little bit of humor, a dash of tell-it-like-it-is, but a base element of humility that allows the listener to approach, get closer and be attentive of their own choice because they can relate. Now wrap all of that in a brightly colored, pristinely styled package—topped with a spectacular, hand-crafted bow—and you may have just been gifted a little dose of Megan Hunt.”

Steve Gordon, Owner, Rdqlus, Author, 100 Habits of Successful Freelance Designers
