I’m Morgan Johnson, an artist and designer, living and working in Brooklyn, NY. * I specialize in branding and product design for tech, apparel, editorial, and e-comm clients; telling stories and problem-solving by way of websites, interactive design, and marketing. My design approach is equal parts analytical and creative.
I am the founder and creative lead of
Always on Deadline, a full-service design and technology studio. In 2019, I founded
Leigh NY, an apparel brand bridging vintage and contemporary silhouettes. Leigh has been published in Vogue, Beyoncé, InStyle, and BOF.
Previously, I was an Associate Art Director at Condé Nast and a Digital Designer at Ralph Lauren. I’ve worked with large companies like Google and Netflix, to robust design teams like Opening Ceremony. I hold a B.A. in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (with a minor in Art History).
Outside of design, I enjoy strong coffee, amateur gardening, marathon training, sewing/machine knitting, biking, and deep diving on the interweb.
