Hello.
My name is Chad Morgan. I'm a designer and creative director, born and raised in Boulder, Colorado.
More about me
I have over 15 years of creative direction and design experience. My work history includes time spent directing corporate internal design teams, as well as designing for publishers, agencies, small startups and large corporate clients across a variety of industries. I’ve also managed my own agency and understand what it takes to deliver multi-faceted projects on tight timelines.
I’m a natural collaborator that loves thinking critically to solve complex problems and striking a balance between consumer needs and business goals while maintaining the guardrails of the brand aesthetic and ethos. I am empathetic, kind, and an extremely hard worker. I believe in utilizing the talents of others, as well as feedback tools, to inspire rapid iteration for the best possible design solutions.
