An experienced project manager and creative director, Morgan has facilitated the creation of unique objects, large-scale architectural installations, and fantastic experiences at numerous organizations. With an eye for collaboration and experimentation, she has led teams of both youth and adults.
Some highlights include:
Beam Camp
July 2019 Project
Iceberg is a floating sculpture that is simultaneously a place for play and a poetic comment on global warming and our changing environment. 1400 handmade recycled plastic tiles were created, incorporating thermochromic pigment to shift color throughout the day and give the effect of ‘melting’.

Beam Camp
July 2018 Project
"Inspired by a fantastical story blending [local] Parker Mountain lore with the real-life biography of inventor Garrett Morgan, campers and staff constructed a concrete temple housing an Arduino-controlled hall of infinity mirrors and leading to chamber of future dreams."

Beam Camp
July 2016 Project
"The universal play machine is a bespoke and adaptable kinetic sculpture that is also a device for learning - not only in the process of its creation but also in how it can be interacted with when complete. Essentially an oversized flip-book, the system scales up the split-flap display technology first used in airports and train-stations across the world. Exaggerating the analogue nature of the technology, the universal play machine has the capacity to rotate through a sequence of images, sketches, numbers or letters - all created by the campers and even powered by the campers themselves!"

Beam Camp
August 2018 Project
"A cross between a bakery and an outdoor gym that celebrates the ancient art of bread making. Campers employed masonry, metalwork, fermentation, shou sugi ban (a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation) and more. After construction, campers made bread by hauling grain, milling it, kneading and chopping wood for the oven. "

Beam Camp
July 2017 Project
"A domed structure that responds mechanically to human movement. The origami roof panels retract when inhabitants sit on the seats within."
