Morgan Hungerford West is an artist, content creator, and creative resource in Washington, DC.
Nylon Magazine has referred to Morgan's personal projects as "a virtual clubhouse representing DC's creative class." Since 2006 (and starting with her now decade-old blog, Panda Head) she has worked online to shift perception of DC creative culture + creative economy. Through the community-based A Creative DC project, Morgan uses social media as a means to connect the creative fabric of Washington, to advocate for the emerging alongside the established, and to promote all things L O C A L .
An expert in user-generated content and online curation, she grew @aCreativeDC to an audience of over 50k in 18 months, cultivating over a quarter of a million uses of the #aCreativeDC hashtag in the same amount of time. Through her work on @thisisMadeinDC, the DC gov-backed platform amassed 10k followers in just 5 months, helping increase visibility of the over 150 locally-owned businesses enrolled in the city-backed program.
