Hi! I’m Jewell Melisa Morton.
I’m a Filipino designer that grew up as a military brat that was lucky enough to live in Japan and then travel around the US growing up. There was always a stream of Japanese, Filipino, and American culture and influence thrown my way—so at a young age, around 18, I felt like everything happened for a reason. The world is small. Which led to me finding a group of friends that, per chance, played around with Photoshop. This led to my decision to major in graphic design in college instead of business marketing. I wanted to learn and learn and learn: so I bought books, I did internships, and I would ask questions. I’d talk to my professors after hours and I even started my master’s degree just so I could learn more. If there are free sessions from professionals in the industry, I’d love to attend!
I am an ENFJ-T personality type, so feel free to reach out and talk to me. I’m always happy to help or to talk about anything. I have a BFA in graphic design, and I’ll have my MFA in graphic design in Jan of 2025. I love learning about all types of art, but mostly design!
