I bring strategy and design together to help brands tell their stories, connect with their audiences, and make an impact.
From identities and campaigns to websites and social content, I build work with a clear purpose and a little personality.

Jordan Mickey / Designer & Digital Strategist / Detroit
Hi, I’m Jordan.
I’m a multidisciplinary designer and digital strategist based in Detroit. I help brands find a clear point of view and bring it to life through identity, campaigns, content, and digital experiences.
At Marx Layne & Company, I work as a Creative & Digital Strategy Manager, connecting creative direction with content strategy, websites, paid advertising, and performance reporting. Before that, my work at Friedman Real Estate brought design and digital marketing together across commercial real estate brands and service lines.
Through my creative studio, Sol Studios, I also collaborate with startups, small businesses, and organizations on branding, visual identity, and digital projects.
I’m a designer first. Typography, thoughtful systems, and the small details matter to me. So does the bigger picture: who the work is for, what it needs to communicate, and how it helps someone take the next step.
01 / My approach
Curious by nature.
Intentional by design.
I like making complex ideas feel clear. Whether I’m shaping a brand identity, designing an annual report, or planning a campaign, I start with the purpose and build a visual direction that supports it.
I’m also interested in how emerging technology can support creative thinking. I use AI to explore ideas and refine workflows, while keeping judgment, craft, and the human side of the work at the center.
Clarity
Make the message easy to understand.
Consistency
Build systems that work together.
Curiosity
Keep asking questions and exploring.
02 / Beyond the work
A little more me.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me at the gym, curating playlists, or at home with my two black cats, who have appointed themselves creative directors. I make room for the people, places, and everyday moments that keep me grounded.
The creative directors. Very involved. Frequently asleep.
Away from the screen.
03 / A little life update
Currently…
- Listening to
- My favorite anime songs, usually on repeat while I design.
Listen along - Exploring
- New ways to bring design, strategy, and AI together.
- Making time for
- Movement, good music, and life outside the screen.
- Working alongside
- Two black cats with very strong creative opinions.
A small snapshot of what’s keeping me curious.
