Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Morgan Bronson. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Morgan, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What did your parents do right and how has that impacted you in your life and career?

I was homeschooled K-12, with the exception of the occasional religious or artistic class. And even though I might do it a little differently if I have children, I loved being free to explore any avenue of life I chose. My parents raised me and my 6 younger siblings through the early 90s and 2010s very “freely”. We were able to choose what we spent our time doing, and most of the time, I was doing art and design. I was able to spend hours a day on our computer, messing around with photoshop and vector design programs, and learning gobs about how to use this up-and-coming technology. I later found my love of painting big murals when I was able to get a full-time job at the local theatre as their scenic painter for all the plays and productions. I combined the two professions (graphic design and murals) and started my own business later in 2020. The freedom in my young life has led to who I am now. I’m eternally grateful to my parents for allowing me to explore my world!

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

My name is Morgan Bronson, and my pronouns are she/her. I’m 30 years old, happily married for 7 years, no kids (yet). A few things about me: I was homeschooled, the oldest of 7 kids, I’m not ordinary because of it, and I love to create art and problem-solve for people. I’m terrible with social media and marketing myself online (getting better), but if we happen to meet somehow, we’re going to be friends. My business started in late 2020 when I was simply done working for someone else. I wanted to choose my own graphic design projects, I wanted to work more closely with my clients, and I wanted to paint more big murals. I combined my lifelong graphic design and painting experience and created a website and brand…and then I quit my stable, cushy job. It was a very good and very fulfilling move though, to say the least.

My clients can expect a personalized experience when they work with me. I want to get to know them and their business as if I was there when it started.
There are so many walls and spaces in businesses that could be utilized for marketing and advertisement, or to just help customers remember a business more easily when they walk in.

I offer full mockups of my murals and designs and vast knowledge of color and design theory.
I’ve been able to complete so many huge and amazing projects while I’ve been in business and I’m forever grateful to my clients and my family for helping it all work out for this creative little creature.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

There is so much more problem-solving in art and design than some would think. I thrive on taking a disorganized folder full of text and images and producing a visually exciting and business personal deliverable. My ideal client would be someone coming to me with a feeling they want to convey in their project. Something I need to decipher and translate visually. I love a challenge, I love when a customer starts to see the potential and gets excited about the project and what they’re able to create with a little help.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

When I was quitting my job and starting my business, I had a lot of pushback from a coworker. They would bring me down and tell me all the things that could/would go wrong because of my lack of experience. They would mock my ideas for my future, and scoff at any wins I reported. It was rough at the time because I believed they had more experience than me. I respected them as someone who probably knew what they were talking about because of their education and age. It made it really hard to confidently leave the nest. But the thing about something toxic is that when it’s not around anymore, it can’t hurt you. I quickly gained the confidence and the extra experience I needed after I stopped talking to them and just started getting to work. I learned that you can’t let someone who doesn’t really know you, get in your way.
