Bio
Kaitlyn Doyle
Morgan and I worked together for 2 years at Red Velvet Events. In that time, I found myself constantly looking to her for advice on project and client management. Morgan has a unique set of skills that allow her to successfully manage a large number of concurrent projects while fostering a genuine human connection with her clients. During South By Southwest, Morgan could have as many as 4 events happening within a week and work 60 hours onsite during that time frame, but would find time to check in and provide creative ideas and deliverables for her clients with events happening 2 months later. I would love to be on the same team again or have the privilege of being one of her clients.

Morgan is a passionate, talented, creative, and hard working professional. I had the pleasure of working with her on dozens of events and was consistently impressed with her abilities. Her management skills are exceptional and she is the ultimate team player. Morgan is able to motivate and encourage team members, while putting clients at ease, even in stressful situations that can occur when planning and executing events. I highly recommend Morgan for any project as she has great ideas and the skills to implement them!
