Having worked in the media industry most of her adult life, Morgan began her career with a lucrative modeling offer from the Mitsubishi Corporation in Japan. This led to a highly successful fashion career combined with extensive travel throughout the Orient, Europe and the South Pacific. By the late 1970s, she had honed her entrepreneurial skills by creating several successful import/export ventures before launching a creative writing business based in the San Francisco area.

After moving to Hawaii in the 1980s, Morgan embarked upon a distinguished career in the publishing industry spanning almost 20 years as a world-class publisher with over 12 premiere magazines to her credit. From innovative advertising supported specialty magazines, she soon expanded the business to books with the 224-page, hardcover, hotel in-room guidebook, The HawaiiGuide, featuring Tom Selleck. During her tenure as the official publisher for the PGA in Hawaii, she also created a comprehensive, full-color, 242-page, coffee table book, the celebrated Hawaii Guide to Golf showcasing both private and public courses throughout the islands. Under Morgan's direction, its pre-publication sales campaign garnered over one-quarter million dollars in revenue.

From 1990 to 1997, Morgan founded and was publisher of Island Home, a high-quality, glossy, 200-page, affluent lifestyle magazine that showcased the architecture and interior design of multimillion dollar homes of the rich and famous, world-class resorts and exciting travel destinations from around the globe.

Annually, she also published the 204-page, Island Home Sourcebook showcasing architects, interior designers and design resources, the Hawaii Business Guide, the Relocation Guide as well as numerous custom publishing projects.

As publisher, Morgan was responsible for the creative direction of all sales scripts, media kits, advertorials, mass mailings, cover letters and all collateral print material used in the pre-publication sales campaigns, as well as overseeing the productivity of the sales team. She personally brought in millions of dollars annually in ad revenue building the company to the top in the state.

As the creative director on many successful marketing strategies and advertising campaigns, Morgan's prestigious clientele has included Armani, Versace, Polo Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Christian Dior, Hermes Paris, Loewe, Cartier, Chanel, Tiffany, Escada, Celine, Salvatore Ferragamo, Fendi, Frette, Louis Vuitton, Adrienne Vittadini, Jaeger, Mondi, St. John, Gap, Royal Copenhagen, Georg Jensen, Waterford Wedgwood, Seabourn Cruise Line, Halekulani, Mony Financial and Benetti of Italy, luxury yachts.
