Mikulak DesignWorkInfo
Designing systems of order, beauty, and connection.

I am a creative director and artist with nearly two decades of experience spanning agencies, in-house teams, and academia. My expertise includes branding, digital and print design, marketing, campaign development, experiential design, and education—all rooted in a commitment to empathy and collaboration, where the most impactful design emerges.

I’ve led multidisciplinary teams to deliver integrated solutions, managing projects from research and strategy to execution while remaining deeply involved in hands-on design. Empowering clients to better understand the creative process is central to my approach. I've found that it leads to stronger collaboration, more confident decision-making, and outcomes that everyone had a part in creating.

As a former professor of Graphic Design and Visual Communication and past president of AIGA Vermont, I bring a collaborative, human-centered approach to leadership. I am passionate about mentoring teams, cultivating creativity, and producing work that balances meaning with measurable impact.

Based in Vermont, I find daily inspiration at the intersection of history, art, and nature, sharing life with my husband and our retired racing greyhound, Loewy.
