Estella Morgan grew up in a military family, and by high school had lived in more places than she could count on her fingers. Having experienced so many kinds of people, Estella felt at home when she moved to New York, where she attended the Fashion Institute of Technology receiving her BFA in Apparel Design. After a decade working in fashion, Estella gave birth to a daughter and was exposed to the breathtaking world of picture books. She fell in love with the adventure that happened when magic mixed with reality, the way the intertwining of words and images added up to more than a sum of their parts, and the wonderous moments that picture books provide for a child and the person reading to them. Estella is enchanted by misunderstood monsters, the frustrating unpredictability of watercolor, and accidental playground story times. She now lives just outside of Manhattan with her husband, daughter, and two kitties that love to sleep on unfinished artwork.
Estella has been a member of SCBWI since 2015 and a member of CBIG since 2018.
