The Designer
Micah graduated with an Art Studio degree from The University of Alabama at Birmingham in the spring of 2018 while concurrently working as a junior graphic designer. Building upon 5 years of experience in the Graphic design field, Micah has moved upwards into a managerial role and heads a small team of junior graphic designers.
Throughout his years of being a graphic designer, Micah cut his teeth doing print layout work such as: Magazine Articles, Flyers, Posters and Direct Mail marketing solutions.
