About Us
Since our inception, D2 Research has been focused on building a strategic, quality research practice.
The founders and creators of D2 Research decided to collaborate and form a new venture after working together on several research intensive projects. Their passion for producing high quality work has been widely recognized by many partner institutions including Commerce Bank, Johnson County Library System, University of Missouri-Kansas City, the US Army Command and General Staff College, among others. With their wealth of experience, they are comfortable handling even the most fragile of precious objects. Between the two, they are proficient in reading and research in Spanish, Dutch, German, Russian, Serbian, Italian and French. They have close connections with individuals who add Chinese and Greek to their research availability.
D2 Research is committed to providing an experience that is easy and efficient to meet the needs of every client. Our combined expertise allows for a multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary approach to a vast number of subject areas.
We look forward to taking the search out of your research!!!
Meghan Dohogne
Partner
Meghan Dohogne is a co-founder and operator of D2 Research, where she drives the strategic and logistical backbone of every project. With a bachelor's degree in History from McKendree University and a master's degree in Art History from UMKC, she is currently ABD in her doctoral program. Meghan brings a rare combination of big-picture thinking and brass-tacks execution, but she's driven by a genuine love for the objects, stories, and exhibitions that make collections come alive. Her work with the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, connecting military art collections to the broader Kansas City community, remains one of her most meaningful collaborations to date.
