Hello 👋

I am Mikaela, a digital media artist and designer with a strong passion for visual storytelling, brand clarity, and interactive experiences. My work focuses on enhancing product and service campaigns through thoughtful and engaging graphic deliverables.

I believe multimedia production and automation has the power to connect communities and inspire new ways of interacting with ideas, which led me to pursue a career in creative and technical industries centered on digital innovation.

With over five years of experience creating professional and conceptual work across education and business, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective and am eager to contribute to inclusive, collaborative projects in digital art, graphic design, branding, and marketing.
