Winner Designer
Mikayla Gao
Hi, I’m Mikayla Gao, a Los Angeles-based graphic designer specializing in brand identity and experience design. In my hometown, there is a philosophy that speaks of the Five Elements. From an early age I have always understood that I am missing the element of wood. This belief sparked in me a journey of personal discovery and drove me towards nature and greenery. I have learned strength from the forest, resilience from the trees, and power from the seeds. These are now essential qualities for me as an individual. The forest represents growth and harmony while also being a source of infinite inspiration. It’s a place where I find balance and enrichment. Just as the forest adapts and flourishes, I strive to develop creative resilient design solutions that embody these same qualities. Let’s step into the forest together.
