Oh, hey. Glad you're here.
My name is Chad Morgan. I’m an independent graphic designer just outside Boulder, Colorado. I’ve been helping people create wonderful things since nineteen ninety six. I’d love to hear from you.
More about me
My name is Chad Morgan and I grew up in good-ol Boulder, CO. I've lived here my whole life, minus a couple years spent down in Durango. I have a wonderful wife, a cute little daughter (well, not so little anymore), and three boston terriers. When I'm not designing things, I'm usually outside on my bike, or spending time with people I love.
I've worked for a couple design agencies, inside a few in-house design departments, owned my own boutique agency, and most recently was the creative director for a direct-to-consumer apparel company.
I grew up in print before digital was a thing, but have spent most of my career designing stuff for the information super highway (the interwebs). I believe good strategy is creativity's best friend, and that we must always consider the human element in our work. I believe in user-centered design principles, and that a simpler approach is usually better.
Although my time is generally pretty limited, I'm always up for talking. Even if I can't help you, I'm happy to offer some humble advice.
