A native Californian, Morgan started Argia Designs as a culmination of a lifetime of interest in art and the environment. Growing up in the San Diego foothills, she spent her childhood exploring the native chaparral and the farm where her family grew organic fruits and vegetables to sell at local farmer’s market. In college, her first job at a local tropical nursery helped nurture her love of plants and the environment even further. She began designing landscapes in 2004 while working at Las Pilitas Native plant nursery in Escondido, and grew her business from there, partnering with contractors and architects on projects throughout California. Her experience working on both the horticulture side and installation side give her a broad understanding of all aspects of landscape and garden design - from the unique needs of individual plant species and soil science to the technical aspects of hardscape and irrigation installation.

Morgan is a QWEL (Qualified Water Efficient Landscaper) trained professional and has trained in sustainable design practices through multiple organizations for over 10 years. Her work has been featured in UT San Diego’s Home and Garden Magazine and has won "Best of Houzz" in both Design and Service in 2015/2016.  She has been a featured speaker on sustainable design at the San Francisco Flower and Garden Show, the Landscape Industry Show, the Del Mar Fair Garden Show, and numerous HOAs and garden groups.  She has also worked with non-profit groups including the Surfrider Foundation, the US Green Building Council and the California Native Plant Society to spread awareness about the importance of water conservation, runoff pollution reduction and other sustainable and regenerative design practices.

Morgan currently lives with her family in the San Francisco Bay Area.
