Morgan Noll’s backstory as a professional artist is interesting: just six years ago, she had no drawing experience and was employed in an unrelated field; now she's an artist on Star Trek: Lower Decks. Her story – what she learned and how she moved into a digital art career she always wanted – is something we can all learn from and be inspired by.
In 2020, Morgan worked in theatre and was furloughed from her job as a playwright and venue manager when COVID happened. “I didn’t know if we’d ever be able to perform on stage again,” she says. “So, since I was being paid to stay home, I decided I’d use that time to learn a new skill set. I went from literally a complete novice to a professional industry artist in three years.”
