In my own words

Morgan

I have been incredibly fortunate to enjoy a Graphic Design career that has landed key positions and contracted project work with many well-known companies in the motorcycle industry, including KISKA, KTM & Husqvarna motorcycles, Don Emde Inc.

(Parts Unlimited & Drag Specialties magazines), Trailblazers Motorcycle Club, INTENSE, Two Wheel Group, USMCA, Schuberth Helmets, Jardine, Malcolm Smith, Answer Racing, ProTaper, Advanstar (Dealer Expo, International Motorcycle Shows and Dealernews magazine), Impact Video and EICMA. Career Track: Rapid professional growth through such positions as Illustrator, Graphic Designer, Senior Graphic Designer, Art Director & Creative Director, in addition to running my own graphic design business since the mid 90's. Although I have held the position of Creative Director several times over the years, it is my career objective to again obtain that role, having both responsibility of a design staff and it's workflow, along with my own hands-on involvement in the design work produced.

Well-rounded, Quality Design & Leadership Experience For decades, I have been utilizing design and industry-specific expertise to build and deploy successful advertising campaigns, marketing projects, packaging designs and 3D retail environment designs. I have a track record of impressive and effective work, organizing and delegating staff projects in an efficient manner, and having a personable relationship with my coworkers as well as a great sense of humor. I possess highly-experienced graphic design skills and have consistently met and exceeded annual performance objectives with past employers, having a reputation for setting the bar higher.
