About the speaker
KATHY MORGAN is co-founder and creative director of Morgan and Company, a Phoenix graphic design firm established in 1982. The firm primarily handles brand management, print collateral, instructional materials, annual reports, direct mail and environmental design primarily for clients in the telecommunications, credit union, legal and biotech industries. Kathy also serves as Financial Director of AIGA Arizona and as Marketing / Communications chair on the board of INFOCUS, the photography support organization of Phoenix Art Museum.
Kathy’s "have passport, will travel" motto has landed her at various ports in Europe and Latin America in the past few years, not to mention jetting off to the Seattle area whenever it's a "dry heat" in Phoenix. Alternately described by her own children either as a goofball and too serious, Kathy is a grammar, languages and toothbrush fanatic, golfs once a year on Christmas and hopes to write a memoir some day.

Since its founding by Dwight and Maie Heard in 1929, the Heard Museum has grown in size and stature to become recognized internationally for the quality of its collections, its educational programming and its festivals. Dedicated to the sensitive and accurate portrayal of Native arts and cultures, the Heard is an institution that successfully combines the stories of American Indian people from a personal perspective with the beauty of art. Through innovative programs, world-class exhibitions and unmatched festivals, the Heard Museum sets the standard nationally for collaborating with Native people to present first-person voices. Partnerships with American Indian artists and tribal communities provide visitors with a distinctive perspective about the art and cultures of Native people, especially those from the Southwest.
AIGA Arizona is on a mission to nurture creative curiosity and use programming, resources and mentorship to empower the voices in our community to create a lasting impact.
Established in 1989 as the local chapter of AIGA, the professional association of design, volunteers build programming to help improve design ability for Arizona creative professionals. They connect with complementary disciplines of creativity and expression. They prioritize social impact. And they promote community excellence. How? By providing resources and access to all creative professionals within the state and making sure that underrepresented communities have a seat at the table.
