| Established in 2007, Lotus Effect Design has been helping small businesses, nonprofit organizations and individuals communite their brand with substance and sophistication. Providing our clients with individually tailored digital, print and mixed media expertise, each project seeks to reflect the focus and detail required to compete in a complex marketplace. Just as superhydrophobic properties protect the lotus plant in the muddy bogs of its native environment, our services seek to elevate your visual communication in a saturated world.

"The images presented by Lotus Effect are subtle and nuanced, offering the discerning viewer a chance to discover. His images are not for those lacking the time or desire to indulge intimately in art." - CHRISTIAN GREY

Born to a lineage of pioneers who settled the American west, his family helped shape an appreciation and love of the natural world. A classically trained pianist, Eagle Scout, and 4-H Champion, he attended the University of Washington in Seattle for Comparative History and Visual Arts. His early photography, visual arts, mixed media, and musical performance achieved multiple award-winning accolades.

| In 2008, he embarked on Landscape Intrusions, a threr volumr expedition documenting wildfires and deforestation, habitat destruction, and human influence on America’s World Heritage Sites: Olympic National Park, Redwood National Park, and Yellowstone National Park. Traveling to New York in September, he began working under fashion photographer Andrea Blanch, protégé of Richard Avedon. His public debut in Manhattan was at the OUTAuction NYC at the Metropolitan Pavillion in Chelsea on November 23, 2008. Mikeal continues to work on documentaries, fine art photography, and mixed media projects across the United States.
