It’s my joy to empower vision through compelling and beautiful design.

What’s your vision?

Hi!

I’m Michael Powell and I’m so glad you’re here. With over three years of experience in graphic design, a rich education in UI/UX, and working cross functionally in almost every role in design, I bring a holistic perspective to every project I tackle. When we work together, you’re not just working with a narrow sighted one trick pony, but someone who can predict, overcome, and avoid issues long into the future and across your whole brand. It’s my goal to hand off projects walking with my client and ensuring they have everything they need to be successful.

Our Values

Values hold everything together. When you know who you are and why you’re here, you can move forward in clarity and confidence. Here’s a peek at our values at Made By Michael. These six things are what is most important in how we approach each client and project.

I believe this is why we are here. Above all, if our relationship with our clients, the art we create, and the work we do is glorifying to God, then we are successful.

Romans 4:11
If you’re deep in the coffee culture like I am, this phrase is familiar. We strive to achieve excellence in every aspect of what we do here. We want to be proud of the work we create and who we are.

Colossians 3:23
What better place to receive inspiration and purpose than the one who created everything. We are committed to mirroring the creator from the way we communicate to the things we produce. This value is the inspiration behind our organic and natural branding.

Colossians 1:16
Bringing order out of chaos. We don’t believe that great design is always complex, especially if it doesn’t accomplish it’s goal or makes life more difficult.

Genesis 1
People like good people. We want to be good people. In a world and culture that uplifts negativity and tearing others down, we want to be counter culture.

Proverbs 10:9
There’s nothing new under the sun. We believe the best design is one that feels both new and familiar at the same time.

Ecclesiastes 1:9

What people are saying

Matthew Slaughter - Director of Product UX at Gloo

“Michael Powell brings an invaluable suite of skills that any product or design team would benefit from. He is humble, kind, curious, and persistent. His empathy for people, users, and business goals is evident in his approach to every problem. It's very rare to find a colleague and teammate who can hold excellence in hard skills (documentation, design artifacts, etc.) as well as soft skills that foster productive team culture and enthusiasm around the product.”
Kat and Jorge Vazquez - Founders of Your Story Is Not Done and Revolution Media

“Game changer! Thankful for Michael and his insight taking us from good to great across our socials and leveraging growth! Is 6 stars a thing?? Highly recommend!”

“I've worked with a lot of consultants over the years. In short, Michael is totally different. When I launched my company he took the time to understand my needs, research the market, and deliver compelling options that blew away what I thought was possible. I now have a brand that I'm truly proud of.”
Sarah Kamphaus - Creative Lead at Pinewood Church

“Every interaction with Michael is a blessing. I’ve had the honor of working alongside and with Michael for 3 years on countless projects and every time he’s seen feedback as an opportunity to grow and learn. Michael goes above and beyond with his craft and it’s evident the attention to detail and intention that he puts into his work. His humble posture, invitation to creative solutions, and warm positivity makes working with him a breath of fresh air.”
