My name is David Leon Morgan. I’m a digital marketing specialist, writer, photographer, singer, and crafter—and I love a good story. 

During my time as Etsy’s Lead Social Media Specialist, I was featured in Time Out New York’s 2013 Fall Fashion issue, which highlighted the style of social media managers for major brands.

I’ve spent the last nine years crafting stories and leading social media strategies for brands like Etsy, BurdaStyle and CraftFoxes. Now, I’m a full-time business owner dedicated to helping brands small and large identify their story and develop creative strategies around it.

I offer a comprehensive suite of experienced-backed skills to meet a brand’s needs, including social media management, copywriting, and photography.
