About

'm Morgan, a creative from the fragrant Texas coast (it's smelly), currently living in Austin, TX. I've always been an illustrator which led me to Texas State University's Communication Design program. After graduation in 2015, I became a storyboard artist for a small agency called Shiny Object. With Shiny Object, I fell in love with the conceptual creative process, then I migrated client side to Red Hat and IBM. IBM is where I began my social media design career working on many of the D+I social campaigns and large brand initiatives like Think. I was even able to contribute to the IBM Design language which is still in use today. In 2021, I began my current journey with Cheil USA as the Associate Creative Director of Social crafting content for Samsung Mobile USA channels. My passion for prop-styling and crafting has lead our team to create elaborate sets for @SamsungmobileUS on organic social. We even made a small swing-set for the Galaxy Buds2 that made a huge splash on Samsung's Instagram. With Cheil, I helped launch @SamsungUS on TikTok. We also create work for Samsung's Mobile US Paid and Organic Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, Meta, Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit. We're constantly looking for opportunities to engage on these platforms and create work informed by our skilled analytics teams. During the current product launch, I led the initial pitch phase, informed processes, and created a collaborative work environment for my team all the while keeping up with the daily social grind.
