HI, I’m Morgan!
(aka UHBEAUTIFULMES)

Hello, my name is Morgan Summers and I am the founder of UH BEAUTIFUL MES. I make murals, art objects, and creative content that brings bold art into everyday life.

I work in super saturated color palettes and love to imbue my pieces with meticulous detail designed to take viewers’ breath away. I am heavily influenced by the work of tradeskilled sign painters and inspired by type trends throughout history, midcentury “folk art” florals and patterns, motifs seen in American Traditional tattoo designs, and a touch of maximalism.

The goal of my work is to excite the senses, slow people down to enjoy the process of visual discovery, and add moments of compelling color to ordinary days.

CLIENTS ARE SAYING…

Client Testimonials

“Morgan's work helped Lovely dream bigger for their brand. What started off as a simple event refresh for The Lovely Experience led to a full rebrand because our client was so excited about their new custom logotype. Morgan systematically created sub brands, illustrations, and other design elements that fleshed out the rest of this versatile identity. The Lovely Project Foundation and PH3 could not be happier with the results."

Morgan Johnson, Art Director, PH3 Agency + Brewery

“Morgan designed and brought to life the most amazing Soaring Eagles set of murals in the front lobby of our school. Our students and staff could not be more thrilled with the result! Morgan is a creative perfectionist and the wall she painted on our campus is a positive and joyful addition to our school building. We look forward to Morgan returning to MKL to share her talents to liven up more areas of our school ASAP!”

Lori Hast, Principal, Margaret K Lewis Exceptional School

“I give Morgan 5 out of 5 stars. She has a way of taking what’s in your brain and transferring it into an absolutely badass piece of art. Her attention to detail is second to none, and her professionalism shines through in every single aspect of her work. These high standards make all the difference in both our experience working with her, and the final outcome. The final artwork she creates leaves you with the perfect representation of what you had in mind- PLUS thoughtful details you didn’t even know you needed.”

Mari Milenkovic, Co-founder, Her Brand & Co.

“Admiring her work online, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Morgan Summers on our FLLUXE Arts Festival. Her vibrant colors and strong grasp on design did not disappoint and it added an extra level of quality to the branding of our festival. We are already looking forward to working with her again!”

Jayson Kretzer, Executive Director, Bay Arts Alliance

“Working with Morgan was absolutely phenomenal. We had an idea of a phrase we wanted to have painted on our exterior wall, and Morgan ran with it! She came up with three *amazing* concepts, and in the end, the one we chose came out perfect on our wall. We are so happy with Morgan's work from conceptualizing to creating the mural- we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our first big art project.”
