Hi there! My name is Mikael, and I’m based in New York City.
I am first & foremost a storyteller.
I write & edit publications to inspired perfection.
I compose & sing songs and music to uplift your soul.
And I love to explore & share insights into how to embrace
our individual stories through Human Design.
What stories can we tell together? Let’s find out!
MANIFESTO
~
I believe we all have a voice that yearns to break free and a story to tell.
We all want to be seen, heard, and respected in
our full expression of ourselves, our work, and our art.
Your work is so needed in this world.
You bring your own special sauce to whatever it is you desire to create,
and someone in this world desperately needs what you bring to the table.
My goal is to help you bring your stories to life in all their glory and imperfect perfection.
It’d be my honor to help you get your message and stories seen and heard.

About Mikael
Pronounced “McKel”
she/her
Stories of all kinds have been my whole life—from the four-year old grabbing chapter books from the shelves, to the child who loved to write for fun, to an eager young actress busting through community theatre circles in Utah, to a young woman venturing to New York City to discover a whole new world entirely.
To create a new life on my own terms. To be able to write, edit, create, perform, and support other creatives in bringing their stories to life. That’s the work that lights me up.
At the root of it all, I’m a sucker for a good story, and I’d love to help bring your story to light, too. Especially if I can edit it or otherwise make it shine by offering guidance for improvement!
My professional background spans over a decade and a half with experience in news media, business communications, content creation & editing, web design, film production, and publishing. My performance experiences involve theatre, film/TV, and music.
I love to use my abilities to create and alchemize creative works, and to inspire others into realizing this one life doesn’t have to be taken so seriously.
That we can have a choice in the matter—to create what we want to create.
That answers don’t lie outside of us, but rather in our heart of hearts.
That we can trust our bodies’ inner wisdom and our natural intuition.
And that our passions and dreams are the true reason why we are here.
My hope is my experiences and body of work will help you to unlock that trust in yourself to be and create all you desire.
Your voice, message, and story matter. . . And I’d be tickled to help you bring your work to life.
Mikael is a…

Nighttime Prayers: A Personal History
Not long after my parents divorced, I began praying from my top bunk of the red bunk bed my brother and I shared. My grandmother had walked me through my nighttime prayers before we had ever moved in. Somehow it had stuck, because I started praying on my own each night.
