OVERLAND PARK, KS – September 3, 2025
Flatlander Studio, LLC, a human-first digital product design company, today announced the official welcome of Megan Thome, key collaborator and now official partner. This announcement solidifies the strategic leadership team alongside founding partner Nate Voss, reinforcing the studio’s unique approach to crafting exquisite and impactful digital experiences where product vision and launch strategy are interwoven from inception.
“This partnership is about formalizing the vision Megan and I have cultivated for years,” says Voss. “Our aim is to create digital products that people actually love; it’s our guiding principle that shapes every pixel and product.”
Following its soft launch in November 2024, their integrated model primes Flatlander Studio for success. With Voss bringing over 20 years of experience in product strategy and design, and Thome contributing decades of creative leadership in brand and content development, the studio is now uniquely positioned to deliver holistic solutions that move beyond conventional silos and overhead-heavy budgets.
“This isn’t about bolting marketing onto design or vice versa,” says Thome. “When you’re thinking about app store optimization while you’re designing the onboarding flow, when your brand strategy informs your interface decisions—that’s when something special happens.”
Thome has led creative initiatives for a range of organizations, which includes leading consumer goods brands and Fortune 500 tech companies. Her work has encompassed everything from concepting new brand identies to repositioning established enterprises to developing omni-channel marketing campaigns. This extensive background has equipped her with a unique understanding of how identity directly influences user perception and product adoption in the digital space.
Research backs up Flatlander Studio’s emphasis on exquisite strategic design. A Forrester study highlights the immense value of strategic design, showing that every $1 invested in user experience (UX) can yield a return of up to $100. Further studies show that 94% of a user’s first impression of a digital product is design-driven, underscoring the indispensable role of integrated brand and design strategy from day one.
“We’re building a studio that champions not only design but the person using the software,” adds Voss. “From branding to buttons, we apply the kind of thoughtfulness that makes every digital interaction delightful and useful.”
