Nice to meet you, my name is Morgan Rae.
There is no "origin story" for my interest and passion in interior design. There was no "ah ha" moment where it all just clicked. It already just was. In my family home, I was surrounded by constant renovations for as long as I can remember continuing into today. From the start, I found myself begging to go to the home improvement stores and picking out options for my parents. Going out into any new place, I was commenting on the furniture, the placement of objects, the flow of traffic, or even the way the light hurt my eyes or echo hurt my ears. I was constantly reimagining what was possible in the spaces I experienced and taking note of what worked well and why. There was always this incredible urge to create. And so I did. I would spend my days creating floor plans, sketching rooms and furniture, and picking out materials for the fun of it. I began doing what came naturally to me. From there is where I found an extra push: the users. I am driven to design spaces for users that enhance their productivity, mental health, and physical health while remaining true to the aesthetic. While merging these two concepts can be challenging, it is the most exciting challenge of the process. To design the "unsolvable".

I grew up in a small town in West Virginia. While rich in beautiful scenery and some historical architecture, the interior design scene could use some love. This is what pushed me to leave home and pursue my passions. I moved 10 hours from home to Savannah, Georgia to attend SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design). This jump would end up being one of the best decisions of my life. There, my mind was open to new cultures, ideas, and possibilities. I was able to make bonds with people from all over the world, learn from experienced professors, and rethink what it is I thought I knew of interior design as I worked through the design processes for countless all-nighters. In May 2021, I graduated from SCAD with a B.F.A. in Interior Design and a new fire within me making me more excited than ever to create. Let's see what we can do!
