This Guy


Micah (”MIKE-uh”)
Hey there—I’m Micah, a creator with a relish for raw and relatable design.

My story started as a third culture kid in the heart of Ethiopia, a country that instilled a deep passion within for culture, adventure, and storytelling. 

I now take joy in crafting authentic visual stories that resonate with real people. Breathing warmth and whimsy into the ordinary, subverting clichés, and building thoughtful brand experiences that spark genuine light and laughter are all my forté. 

When I’m not fiddling with a new design project or drawing funny little characters for my freelance design business, chances are you’ll find me getting up to mischief with my 6 siblings, jamming on a ukelele, or practicing portraiture while watching thrillers & stand-up comedy.

(Previously at Landor.)

3rd-year Communication Design student at the University of Cincinnati’s DAAP (School of Design, Architecture, Art & Planning).
