Morgan with Lucy the Black Lab

Designer Morgan McMahon joined the team in August 2022 as she entered her second year at Madison College in the design program. Well beyond that now, let’s meet her!

What are some of your hobbies? I really love the outdoors! I am big into hunting, boating, fishing, hiking, and woodworking. We own 50 acres of land in Richland Center, where we recently designed and built our dream tiny cabin. I enjoy taking our boat out on Lake Michigan to catch salmon. My family and I also love going boating and tubing. I also enjoy doing my own nails and keeping up with the latest fashion trends.

Where did you grow up? I grew up in Grafton, Wisconsin, which is about 20 minutes north of Milwaukee, and since college I now live in Madison.

So let’s talk about college and high school, then. I graduated from Grafton High School in 2021 and I graduated from Madison area Technical college with an Associates Degree in Architectural Technology in May of 2023

Tell us about your family! I am the older of 2 daughters; I am 3 years older than my sister. My Mom is an Interior Designer and works for herself. My dad is a project manager at Campbell Construction, and they build or remodel a lot of Culvers! We also have an 13-year-old black lab named Lucy.

Do you have a favorite saying? Yes, I really like the saying, "Everything happens for a reason."

How about your favorite TV show? I love the show "New Girl." The sitcom stars 5 roommates and their daily struggles.

Do you like to travel? Where have you been? I love traveling! In 2022 I went out west to Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, and Mount Rushmore. Most recently I traveled to Florida for spring break and then the Smokie Mountains in Tennessee for our annual summer trip!

Well, where is your dream vacation? My dream vacation would be Italy or Greece, both places are incredibly beautiful.

Additionally, Morgan was voted MVP by her peers at Degnan Design-Build-Remodel in Quarter 2 of 2023!

What type of music do you listen to? I listen to a variety of music, from 70's hits to todays hits and even hip/hop or rap music. But, my favorite genre of music is country, especially 90's country! I also enjoy listening to Zach Bryan and Morgan Wallen, I've even got to see them in concert!

Do you play any musical instruments? Throughout middle school and half of high school, I played the piano. I do not really play much anymore but I do remember how to play so it is fun to sit down and play sometimes.

Are you an artist or craftsman? Yes, I am a craftsman; I love building furniture and revamping older furniture pieces. I also like to assist my dad with building things such as our tiny cabin or any side jobs that he does.

What about any awards & achievements?  Both of my years in college I made the Dean's list with high academic honors.
