About

20+ years of
making creative work.

Michael Bayquen

I'm a Creative Director with 20+ years across branding, advertising, e-commerce, web, print, video, and social content, leading multidisciplinary teams of designers, developers, and copywriters from concept to delivery.

Recently I've led creative for print-on-demand e-commerce brands, directed social and ad creative for churches and nonprofits at Missio, and now produce social clips, graphics, and web content for Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Solving.org. Alongside that I build AI-assisted production systems that turn one source asset into a full set of finished, on-brand deliverables.

My strongest work sits where creative quality, production discipline, and systems thinking meet: setting the direction, building the workflow, and staying hands-on when the work needs it.
