Designing Impact for
Visionary Brands

Who We Are

  • Founder & Creative Principal

    With over a decade of experience as a designer and educator, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients ranging from small businesses and nonprofits to globally recognized brands like Google. My background combines hands-on expertise in branding and product design with a passion for teaching at every level—from secondary education to art schools and even military training.

    Design isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am. I believe quality design has the power to make life better—bringing clarity, beauty, and purpose to the everyday. It’s my passion for solving problems, elevating experiences, and delivering meaningful work that drives everything I do.

    As the founder of MIKEA, I created this studio to offer accessible, impactful design solutions that resonate deeply with audiences. At MIKEA, I strive to build brands that aren’t just visually distinctive but also meaningful and sustainable. Whether you're launching a new idea or refining an established brand, my mission is to ensure your story is bold, authentic, and unforgettable.
