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 Picturesβ€”a 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 Embersβ€”a classic stream-of-consciousness blog where anything goes.
