I’m Michaela Michael; a designer, photographer, and traditional artist who grew up in West Virginia.
While freelancing, I have worked on projects such as designing CD covers for musicians, designed layouts for books, created brand idenities for YouTube and Twitch entertainers, and made promotions for charity livestreams.
During my senior year in college, I started working as a photojournalist; not only taking photos for various events from fires to college sports, but also interviewing, filming content, editing news clips, and writing copy blocks for the regional newspaper.

I started out with the Atari 2600 and have been fascinated with video games ever since. Even though I do not always have time to play, I am still an avid collector of all types of games.
Although I enjoy all kinds of desserts, I will forever have a sweet spot for coffee and cheesecake ice cream. Throughout my undergrad, that was my regular at the local ice cream shop.
I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, but I really love pugs. Back at my home in West Virginia, my family owns three happy and energetic pugs named Lily, Bandit, and Lucia.
