“These organizations offer bright hope to those they aid, and it is my honor to give back to them through art,” said Morgan.

As an artist and designer, she believes it’s her duty to use her artwork for good. She works towards this goal every chance she gets.

“If my work encourages one person that encounters it,” she said, “then my goal is accomplished.”

While working on the projects, Morgan sharpened her skills in large scale-painting. She also forged important connections in the local communities.

Upon graduation, Morgan plans to pursue a career in design and branding in the food and hospitality industry.

“Combining my love of the food industry with design,” she said, “I will work with brands to create logos & packaging that are functional and professional.”
