I care about every touch point of a brand — whether it’s a website or a print piece, I put much thought into and nurture the brand. I believe in the power of design. When the design is real, the brand becomes real.

Michiko Rhoden

Art Director

With years of experience in design, I’m a strong visual communicator and brand builder. My experience includes building brands and content-rich websites for several startups, among which 3 of them were acquired by high-profile companies, to elevating traditional brands to the next level. My strength is a meticulous eye to pay attention to details, without ever losing the big picture of the brand. I bring out the essence of a brand through simple yet thoughtful design.

I hold an MFA in Graphic Design from Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I received awards including Western Art Directors Club: Award of Excellence, Graphis Poster Annual: Gold and Graphis Logo Design: Gold. I’m originally from Japan, where I constantly get inspired by the design.
