Michiko’s journey

My name is Michiko Shiikuma, and I’m a seasoned designer with a strong focus on creative direction and branding. You can probably find me under the sun in Los Angeles today, but I have worked in New York, the Bay Area and Tokyo as well. With over 15 years of professional experience in a corporate environment, I have a wide range of expertise in print, digital, social, mobile, packaging, merchandise and trade shows.

I have been both a leader and an integral part of several marketing and e-commerce teams, interacting cross functionally with content, strategy, branding, product and sales teams. Each project comes with creative challenges, but I love tackling them head on and solving them within the guidelines of the brand. I also welcome constructive feedback and input, since ultimately, we all want the projects to be beautiful and successful. I understand the importance of meeting deadlines, while still being flexible enough to adjust priorities and handle multiple projects at once.

I am always looking for new creative challenges - please don’t hesitate to contact me below.
