Hello 👋

I am Mikaela, a digital media artist and graphic designer passionate about visual storytelling, enhancing product/service knowledge, and building global campaign experiences.

I believe multimedia production has exponential power for communities to immerse and interact within new horizons of interest. I pursued my career in creative technical industries to expand digital innovation and make impactful projects with diverse teams.

Over five years, I have created professional and conceptual artworks through multidisciplinary journeys in education and business. From my background, I am eager to learn and contribute to inclusive collaborations in digital art, graphic design, branding, and marketing.
