Summary
<p>The one where I got to sit down and hear the story of one of my online heroes - Morgan Harper Nichols.</p>
<p>Morgan is an artist and poet whose work is inspired by real life interactions and stories. Morgan spent the first couple of years of her professional life as a college admission counselor, and then, as a full-time touring singer-songwriter and musician. It was on the road that she cultivated her curiosity and passion for writing, art, and design and slowly began to share her work online.</p>
<p><br />
In 2017, Morgan started a project where she invites people to submit their stories to her website. From there, she creates art as a response to their stories and sends it to them before sharing the work publicly. All stories and names are kept private. The fruit of this project is shared daily around social media, in publications, and various creative collaborations and installations.</p>
<p><br />
As an artist, Morgan has been collaborated with a wide range of brands including Coach, Adobe, LiveNation, Aerie, and more. As a designer and author her work has been available in many stores, including Anthropologie, Barnes and Noble, and Target. Her book of poetry and art, “All Along You Were Blooming,” is available where books are sold. She is on the board of directors at TWLOHA (To Write Love on Her Arms).</p>
<p><br />
Morgan is originally from Atlanta, Ga. and she and her husband Patrick currently reside with their son Jacob, in Orange County, Ca. where you can also find her studio and shop, <a href="http://garden24.co/" target="_blank">Garden24</a>.<br />
