We Are Unfeathered Ink
RAW. REAL. SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE.
Melody Norton
Creator & Operator
Growing up a child of many cultures, Melody is constantly looking for connections between her experiences and those of others. She’s a firm believer that common ground can be found when we communicate through the universal mediums of art, ritual, and language. Melody is persistent in her pursuit to normalize the idea of unity among cultures through the same multidisciplinary approach found in her field of study. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from Oregon State University with coursework emphasis in culture, folklore, rituals, linguistics, and psychology.
Melody has spent 20+ years as a career administrator with executive level experience in communications, customer relations, small business administration, as well as team and project management. Unfeathered Ink is proud to serve its growing and culturally eclectic community.
When not on the clock, Melody enjoys binge streaming TV & movies, time with family & friends, meditating, hiking, dancing, and writing poetry.
