MKN Design blends strategy, artfulness, and purpose into visual solutions that delight and engage. Over 16 years organizations have engaged with MKN Design to build their brand experiences. We have partnered with organizations like: Ancestry, Herman Miller, KitchenAid, Hush Puppies, ITHAKA and Patagonia to build brand stories. Driven by equal parts thoughtfulness, acumen, and craft. Our work lives at the intersection of illustration and design, where shapes, colors, and form collide with strategically rooted solutions. Our style is uncomplicated by intention, which mimics the nature of our client relationships. Open. Honest. Free of clutter. In a world where things can get pretty complicated, we consider it a refreshing approach.

As the owner of MKN Design, Michael Nÿkamp maintains a roster of smart, independent collaborators. This way, our team can scale up or down, and tailor an approach based on the needs of any project.
