Meredith Stapon is a communications professional and graphic designer who has lived in Toronto for nearly a decade. Prior to living in Canada, Meredith studied and grew up in a small town in Connecticut.

Meredith’s journey of navigating her Indigeneity was largely driven by her move North. Since graduating from York University with a degree in Communications, Meredith has worked with the Toronto Arts Council, Neighborhood Arts Network, and VIBE Arts.

Working extensively to create equitable access to arts education led Meredith to Gakino’amaage. Here, she joins her passion for strengthening First Nation sovereignty through clear and meaningful communication with an ambition to deepen personal connections to her own belonging.

Meredith lives in Toronto, Ontario, where she enjoys baking and spending time outdoors with her dog, Maeve.
