Hi, I'm Mike, the creative force behind Mjdsgn.
I help small Scottish businesses and sustainable brands turn ideas into meaningful visuals. Whether you're launching something new or rethinking your current brand, I'm here to make sure your vision comes to life in a way that truly stands out and connects with your audience.
From Passion to Purpose
I’ve always been drawn to the creative side of things—whether it was art, business, or graphic communication, I loved the idea of building something that’s both beautiful and functional. This passion led me to study Product Design at Napier University, where the headlines about climate change were impossible to ignore. That’s when my focus on sustainable materials and eco-friendly design really took shape.
For my dissertation, I dove into how greenwashing impacts the consumer market, analysing everything from cars to lifestyle products. It was eye-opening, and it cemented my belief that good design isn’t just about how something looks—it’s about making a positive impact.
My first job at an eco-packaging company seemed like the perfect fit, but I found myself craving more freedom to explore different industries and take on broader projects. That’s when I decided to strike out on my own. I found my niche in the carbon capture industry, using my skills in visual storytelling to bring complex ideas to life through diagrams, maps, and infographics. Now, I’m bringing that same creative drive and sustainability focus to help businesses tell their own stories through design.
My mission is simple: to create designs that not only drive positive change but also nurture your business; making your brand more recognizable and engaging. Based in Scotland but working with clients across the UK, I’m here to help your business take root with designs that stand out, connect with your audience, and leave a lasting impression.
