Megan Havili
Megan Fielea Havili is the maker behind Make It Megan, a YouTube channel dedicated to the art of making kahoa and lei, fresh flower tutorials, and Tongan traditional wear and costumes.
With a background in wedding floral design, Megan brings years of experience, a deep respect for Polynesian traditions, and a love for sharing creative techniques in an approachable way. Inspired by the resourcefulness of ancestors who created with what was available to them, her lei-making mantra is: “make with what you have.”
Her tutorials range from using traditional and fresh materials to utilizing supplies widely available at craft stores—making the art of lei accessible to anyone, anywhere.
Megan’s videos have helped tens of thousands of people learn to create beautiful, meaningful leis, especially during graduation season. Through her platform, she is passionate about preserving cultural artistry, celebrating milestones with intention, and helping others connect with their roots by creating with their hands.
