Michael brings a relaxed but energetic creative mindset and approach to all of his work. This makes each project low-stress and high-impact.

“Michael Freeland has been a trusted extension of our marketing department at Kansas Wesleyan University for more than a year. He’s our go-to for outsourced work, whether we need the project right away or have time to strategize. He consistently meets deadlines and hits the nail on the head with concept designs nearly 100% of the time. He’s a professional, and his marketing perspective is an added bonus!”
Paula Hermann, Former Director of Marketing/Communications | Kansas Wesleyan University, Salina, KS
“Michael and I worked together closer to the beginning of his career and even then, I thought he had a great gift. When it came time with my current company to find a graphic artist to design an image we had in our heads, I was glad to see that he had started his own company and would be able to do just that. Despite the lack of face to face meetings, through phone calls, Michael asked great questions and understood the concept of what we wanted the image to communicate and offered fantastic first round markups. By merging a couple of aspects from two of the options, we were able to achieve exactly what we had in mind. The process was seamless and effective and provided my executive confidence that we could leverage an external, remote artist to satisfy our marketing needs. I look forward to working more with Michael to refresh our brand!”
