👋 I’m Mikayla, a designer with over 20 years of experience crafting compelling stories and purpose-driven outcomes.

In 2002, I survived the VFS pressure cookerand mastered the wild west of Flash and ActionScript. By 2003, I was solving UI/UX problems for Suncor,followed by a creative turn in 2004, designing the fringe magazine, Ripe.In 2005, I crafted the identity for the 17th Annual Vancouver Queer Film + Video Festival.

Everything changed in 2008 when I moved to Yellowknife, joining Kellett to lead major campaigns for Latitude Wireless. By 2009, I was Art Director for a Northern business magazine, designing 58 monthly issues, and winning Magazine of the Year. In 2011, I was filming a Japanese alcohol campaign.

In 2013, I returned to Kellett to lead their largest account, Northwestel, executing high-volume campaigns across every medium. Finally, in 2016, I founded MBDC, scaling it into a $500,000-per-year creative agency. Today, I’m looking for my next adventure with a team of smart, kind people who care about the work as much as I do.
