GRAPHIC ARTIST, UX/UI DESIGNER, MOTION GRAPHICS AND PAINTER
Born and raised in Philippines, Jamaica “Jam” Calderon was exposed to surrealism, impressionism art and design expressions. She developed an interest in graphics, paintings, photography, acting and writing from a young age but it was Graphic Design and painting that stole her heart .
I want my passion to motivate, to resonate with people and to contribute to the community. I don’t confine myself to a specific style; my mood board is everywhere; it’s a reflection of my everyday flow, interests, and passion, because life is impromptu. To inspire and be inspired. Professionally, my design came from my personal experience and learnings from others. Through observing, sympathizing, empathizing, research and enhancing according to the needs and purpose, I focus on the goal and believe everyone has their own curve, function, or purpose, compose with individual strengths and weaknesses.
I don’t see
others as competitors,
but as source of inspirations.

My hometown is known as the City of Smiles, where I spent a happy childhood surrounded by sugarcane fields. It is located in a province of a country often referred to as 'the pearl of the Orient Seas".
After 3 decades with five years of my existence, I left my comfort zone.Moving from a tropical country, I now reside in a place with four seasons where I enjoy watching the maple leaves change color with each time of the year.
