Justin Mikkelsen
Creative Multi-Hyphenate β’ Web Dev β’ Photographer β’ Design Enthusiast
Portland-based creative multi-hyphenate with 18 years in web development & graphic design, and a decade of professional photography experience (23 years total behind the camera).
By day: Building websites and brands that blend modern functionality with nostalgic design sensibilities. Proud projects include Melinda Cea's coaching site and Gallows Humor Picturesβa love letter to Web 1.0 complete with GIFs and 8-bit graphics.
By night: Capturing the artistry of cosplayers through Invicta Studios, with a special passion for darker, gothic characters. Big geek at heart who believes the best photography happens when creativity meets fandom.
Currently: Navigating the beautiful chaos of ADHD-fueled interests, figuring out what's next, and keeping the creative fires burning at Roaming Embersβa classic stream-of-consciousness blog where anything goes.
Halloween enthusiast. The countdown is real. π
