Hello again!
I'm Morgan - a multi-disciplinary UX/UI Designer with a love for travel, teaching, and art.
After graduating from the University of Louisville in 2018, where I was able to study abroad twice and earn a double degree in Fine Art and Spanish, I moved to Costa Rica to teach English… but my love for design was calling.
I began working as a freelance designer where I designed public art installations while championing the voices of communities impacted by those installations. Soon my designs were on display all over Kentucky - including the Muhammad Ali Center, HGTV, Churchill Downs, and various non-profits.
While working for so many interesting organizations, I discovered an area of design that was new to me, and in it I saw an opportunity to create interfaces that would benefit data gathering and business strategy in my freelance business. This is when I got certified in UX/UI Design.
Now, I have worked as a UX/UI Designer at a fintech startup, designed the websites of various non-profits, and currently, I work as a UX Researcher and Designer at HealingBridge Therapy.
