About Me
Hi! I’m Morgan. I graduated from Auburn University in Spring of ‘24 with a BFA in Graphic design.
I’m a big advocate for embracing the profane, the weird, the thrifty, the crafty, the wacky, etc. That being said, I am absolutely capable of “reeling it in” and finding design solutions that are better suited for more practical and professional applications.
Since I’ve graduated, I’ve been working as a sort of jack-of-all-trades Marketing Assistant at Auburn University Credit Union. I started out working on social media, but since starting in August 2023, I’ve been given the opportunity to work on many exciting projects that have allowed me to hone both my design and marketing skills, all of which you can find here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What does your employment situation look like?
A: As much as I enjoy working as a marketing assistant at Auburn University Credit Union, I am looking to take the next step in my professional career.
Q: Are you willing to relocate?
A: Yes! Very much so. I’m actively seeking out jobs in Atlanta, but I’m open to anything, including remote work.
Q:What do you bring to the table?
A: Lots! I am skilled in Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, and I have a working knowledge of Premiere, Aftereffects, and Lightroom. As for things that aren’t owned by Adobe, I have experience with Figma, basic HTML and CSS, and Blender.
I’m excellent at working under pressure in fast paced environments and meeting tight deadlines—in fact that’s when I really shine. In the workplace, I’m a big on organization, communication, and documentation.
As for my less practical skills, I can screen-print and knit, and I would love to get into needlepoint and ceramics. Also, Ic
Q: What area of design interests you most?
A: I know it’s a bit contradictory, but it’s a tie between UX/UI and merch design! The UX/UI bit scratches the logical part of my brain as I’m a huge problem solver, but I also genuinely enjoy the process of thoroughly researching how users interact with websites and apps, and understanding how to improve the experience for everyone.
My love for merch design was born out of my crafty upbringing and my love for things that Nobody Has Ever Heard Of. The first time I felt cool was in seventh grade when I wore a The 1975 shirt to school, and even though nobody really cared. I felt even cooler when I started wearing things that I embroidered, knitted, painted, screen-printed, sewed, etc.
Q: Thoughts on AI?
A: The million dollar question. I embrace AI as a tool, not a paintbrush (which… OK technically a paintbrush is a tool but you know what I’m saying. I don’t automatically turn to AI at every single roadblock. I think knowing how to confront friction on your own is important int the creative process).

Fun Facts
I am obsessed with hbo GIRLS. It is my favorite show of all time, I’ve rewatched it probably into the triple digits, I designed and 3D printed a title card keychain in my advanced interactive media course, knit a sweater, and created a Typographics II project based on dialogue from the show.
I own more than 20+ jackets.
If I could have any superpower, I would control the weather so I could wear my 20+ jackets. However, if my controlling the weather did have an impact on the climate at large, I would absolutely work with climate experts to find a solution that benefits everyone. I’ve also thought really hard about it and I would not give in to lobbyists. It’s not worth it.
