Overwhelmed by technology acronyms? Stressing about cybersecurity? Join team members from CIT and their guests as they discuss technology for small to medium businesses.
This week we are joined by Megan, Director of Design at Dupler Office. We learn how Megan’s passion for design evolved from rearranging her bedroom to a career in commercial workplace design. Megan describes discovering the field in high school through a craft mall job, choosing Kent State after learning interior design was more technical than she expected, and ultimately focusing on how built environments impact people at work. She explains why she prefers dealer-design work in furniture over A&D firms, citing variety, client engagement, and broad expertise. They also discuss her DIY hobbies and elaborate birthday parties, and preview attending the CET Designer user conference in Cincinnati with most of her team, including the event’s costumes and networking.

Inside Dupler's Technology Transformation
On the Tech for Business podcast, Megan (Director of Design at Dupler Office in Columbus, Ohio) and Jason (Director of Innovation and Solutions at CIT) discuss Dupler’s recent technology transformation and its impact on designers. Megan explains her hybrid leadership role and how her team relies heavily on CET, while Jason shares his long history advising Dupler and helping guide an IT overhaul. The company tackled multiple changes at once—showroom renovation, moving to a cloud-based platform to eliminate servers, supporting hybrid work, rolling out new laptops, and standardizing conference-room and workstation connection experiences. They describe how inconsistent setups, VPN/server issues, and unreliable laptops previously caused major downtime and client-meeting disruptions, and how the new environment made technology more “invisible,” improving productivity and confidence. They also note cost/value tradeoffs, collaborative vendor partnerships, team-based laptop setup sessions, and Dupler’s design-led sales approach with designers involved in most client engagements.
