Word

“
Micah has been a great creative partner. He always pushes beyond the obvious and helps us create work that feels fresh. He treats your brand like it's his own and consistently creates work that gets people to stop and pay attention. As the steward of the Chiefs brand, he has my trust and he always delivers."
Jordan Giesler
Senior Creative Director, Kansas City Chiefs
What sets Micah apart is who he is as a genuine collaborator. He has a remarkable ability to listen, synthesize ideas, and bring people together around
a shared vision. He's the kind of partner who elevates both the work and everyone involved in making it."
Kirk Dahlgren
Managing Partner, Verify Ventures
“
Micah made an immediate impact for us. With his guidance, I could step away to focus on growing
my business and trust our team to navigate creative challenges confidently. His clear understanding of
our industry's hurdles has been incredibly reassuring. Micah's perspective has been transformative for our business. I always recommend him to any team seeking a strategic creative partner.“
RL Brooks
CEO, SEEN Merch
“
Micah has a gift for bringing clarity to complex ideas.
I could throw a lot of thoughts on the table, and he would listen, organize them, and help me figure out what mattered most. I now have a stronger message, more confidence, and a better understanding of how to communicate who I am and what I do."
Mike Rivera
Managing Broker
“
Micah is a great visual storyteller. He cares deeply about the details, and his work has an unmistakable point of view. He quickly aligns with what we're doing, understands our audience, and always creates work that sells."
Jon Davis
Director of Retail, Country Music Hall of Fame
“
Micah delivers exceptional work. He always brings a high level of care and creativity to everything we've done together. He gets the vision quickly and brings ideas that make it stronger every time. He earned my trust in a very short amount of time.
Kim Thai
Creative Strategist, Entrepreneuer
“
Micah solved tons of problems for us. He came highly recommended by a trusted colleague and, after seeing his portfolio, I knew we had to work together. He's so easy to work with and exactly the kind of partner you want when you're tackling a big challenge. I can't wait to work with him again."

How I Help Brands
How I Help Brands
For over 20 years, I've worked with brands to figure out what comes next, launch big ideas, and keep moving when the workload gets heavy. Today, I partner with teams that need creative leadership, hands-on support, or a little bit of both.

Creative Director
It all started with making shirts and posters for my favorite bands and has grown into creating campaigns and experiences for brands around the world.
Today, I partner with startups, growing companies, and cultural events when they're building something new, launching something big, or facing challenges that didn't come with instructions.
Along the way, I've worked with brands like TED, Target, ESPN, and Pepsi. I've also been lucky to have my work featured in books, magazines, and most recently on my Mom's refrigerator.
