Bio

Morgan is an active illustrator and concept artist for themed entertainment living in Central Florida. She was a 2012 Animation/Illustration graduate of Montclair State University, originally wanting to pursue a career in the animation industry. However, she switched to a different career path when she designed a Walt Disney World parade for her senior project. It was then that she knew she wanted to be a designer for theme parks. In 2013, shortly after graduating, she took a dive head-first into that industry with a two-year internship with Walt Disney Imagineering as an Associate Show Designer. 

As a freelancer, she worked for various exciting clients that expanded her skillset even further. Product design, heavy ideation for marketing approaches, concept drawings, storyboards/animatics, character/costume design, and illustrated web-based media were added to her professional arsenal.

Continuing her design work for themed entertainment, Morgan was hired full-time in 2017 at ITEC Entertainment as a Concept Artist where she put her knowledge of various IPs to excellent use. After a dreadful drought of work during the pandemic, she eventually found new opportunities back in themed entertainment.  

Out of the office, she has been a contributing artist to the Walt Disney Parks & Resorts fine art program, where her work can be seen on Walt Disney World and Disneyland property. In 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, she was invited to be a featured artist at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts where she got to greet guests and sign prints of her featured artwork. To date, she has sold 22 original paintings and many limited edition and deluxe prints. 

At home (and at work), Morgan considers herself a nerd of many things. She loves going to the Walt Disney World and Universal Studios parks with friends and family almost weekly. As a cosplayer since 2001 and a fan of costuming well before that, she also enjoys going to the many conventions that are offered around the state.
