Morgan Allis

Born in the vibrant city of Seattle, Washington in 1986, Morgan Allis was a beacon of inspiration from the beginning. Raised in an unconventional family unit of four rebelliously intertwined parents—divorced yet remarried and uniquely united in friendship – Morgan’s journey into the world of fashion and design began at an early age. With a needle and thread in hand by the third grade, thanks to her grandmother’s guidance, she swiftly moved from following Vogue patterns to creating her own designs by high school. Her spirit, as untamed as her creativity, led her to leave high school early, driven by a passion for chasing punk rock bands across the West Coast. Despite her departure from traditional education, her marketing teacher, recognizing Morgan’s extraordinary genius and unparalleled ability, championed her to receive a high school diploma. Faced with the challenge of affording tuition for the Seattle IADT, Morgan’s resolve was tested yet again when her best friend was diagnosed with cancer. Amid the emotional turmoil and the weight of caregiving, she made a heart-rending promise to her best friend – that she would rise beyond her struggles. True to her word, Morgan launched a breathtaking challenge to herself: 60 dresses in 30 days. She not only fulfilled her promise but turned her endeavour into a viral phenomenon that funded her education and kickstarted her fashion label, Rene Ropas, as an ode to her beloved friend, Ashely Rene Moffit.

Morgan’s relentless drive propelled Rene Ropas to the forefront of the fashion scene, garnering prestigious awards and recognition across Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, and the Sundance Film Festival. Employing guerrilla marketing and leveraging social media, she revolutionized fashion showcasing, securing a 10,000-square-foot retail space in the City of Seattle and making history with the first internet-broadcasted fashion shows. All this, while still navigating the challenges of running a burgeoning fashion brand and attending school, is a testament to her indomitable spirit. At the age of 25, Morgan ventured to Los Angeles, embracing change and supporting her husband’s screenwriting ambitions. It wasn’t long before her remarkable talent caught the eye of Gary Goldstein, a prominent Hollywood producer, who saw in Morgan not just a designer, but a visionary capable of transcending boundaries. Invited to become his business partner and chief strategist, Morgan Allis stood as a luminous example of resilience, creativity, and unyielding determination to forge her own path, reminding us all that the essence of inspiration is not just in achieving our dreams, but in the courage to chase them.

At the young age of 25, Morgan embarked on a life-changing adventure to Los Angeles, fueled by a desire to support her then-husband’s screenwriting dreams. This journey took a fortuitous turn when she was discovered by the esteemed Hollywood producer, Gary Goldstein, who saw in her a unique talent and invited her to join him as a business partner and chief community strategist. Amidst her burgeoning career, Morgan nurtured a clandestine passion for painting, engaging with visionaries like Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari, and Dave Asprey of Bulletproof. Despite rubbing shoulders with some of the most innovative minds in the industry, her soul yearned for the expressive freedom of art. Two years into her partnership with Gary, Morgan decided to follow her heart’s true calling and dedicated herself entirely to art, marking her departure with a successful debut show in Venice, California, where she earned $19,000, a clear sign that her art resonated deeply with others. Following her departure from Gary’s tutelage, Morgan threw herself into her art with renewed vigour, producing three shows in California. She collaborated with one taste in LA, forged partnerships with local influencers, and hosted distinctive artist salons in the hills, delighting in the process of curating her works. Opting to keep her art mostly private, mainly to avoid the exorbitant commission fees of galleries and leveraging her ability to sell her work directly, she saw the price of her artwork skyrocket. By 2023, she achieved a milestone, selling a single piece for $45,000 during her own wedding. Her art has now graced four countries, with thousands of pieces sold as both NFTs online and as large canvases across the globe.

Meanwhile, in private, Morgan was going through a challenging and beautiful spiritual awakening, becoming a synesthetic. She could feel colors, and taste them. She could sense thoughts between the worlds of her art and people. She could read people’s bodies for memories and dreams. She started channelling songs as she painted that shifted reality around her. She was asked to sing at many public events and spaces to open the realm of new possibilities for attendees. She was being trained in the magic of ritual by life and being asked to expand her art into music. Morgan’s personal life has been as vibrant and fulfilling as her professional journey. In 2021, she married Ryan Allis, her beloved partner in both life and art, against the dramatic backdrop of a firestorm in Seattle, Washington—a testament to the intensity and beauty of their love. The following year, they welcomed their son, adding a new dimension of joy to their lives. Together, they have traversed the globe, from Los Angeles to Boulder, Austin to Bali, Costa Rica to Asheville, North Carolina, spreading their art and building a global community bound by their shared passion. They celebrated their union publicly at the Intergalactic Opera Hoedown in 2022 with their extended community, post-Covid restrictions, and have committed to renewing their vows every two years in a grand, artistic celebration, encapsulated within their unique “luvbubble” fashion.
