Hi, I'm Michael Zegeye
Cool stuff really quick:
I grew up in Ethiopia. Best food no competition.
I'm also a huge basketball fan, Kobe is my guy!! Go Lakers (go Raptors too).
Spotify called me a music enthusiast that goes above and beyond, pretty accurate too

I am a passionate graphic designer and art director based in Toronto. My journey into graphic design began in high school while working on the yearbook, igniting my passion for the craft. I further pursued this interest by graduating from George Brown College in 2021 with a major in advertising from the graphic design program.
Upon graduation, I secured an internship as a junior art director at Juliet Creative, followed by a position as a junior art director at Ogilvy Canada. These roles allowed me to refine my skills in creative thinking, problem-solving, and ideation, while continuously pushing myself to grow. They provided invaluable experience that positively shaped my creative career.
I have led the creation of diverse design projects for various brands, collaborating closely with both creative and account teams. These projects have encompassed social media campaigns and broader campaign elements, where I developed multiple concepts to guide their strategic direction.
Clients
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with prominent clients and brands such as Canada Post, Toyota Dealers, Purolator, Telus, Pizza Hut, Xarvio Farming Solutions, Huggies, Cottonelle, and JP Wisers. Working closely with creative and strategy teams, I have contributed to brainstorming innovative concepts and generating promotional executions for internal and external projects..
