Detroit native. Storyteller. Creative director.
Micah Shumake leads a studio practice spanning creative direction, editorial styling, brand identity and photography. Based in Detroit, working everywhere.
Shumake Studios is a design house that helps brands come to life through thoughtful creative direction, strategic marketing and immersive storytelling. We guide the full creative vision, from concept to execution, so every detail aligns with a brand’s identity and cultural relevance.
Our design work shapes how brands look and feel; our marketing and strategy define how they connect, grow and show up in the world. Through curated experiences and photography, we bring that vision into real spaces and lasting visuals, capturing moments in a way that extends their impact far beyond a single interaction.
“Authentic storytelling as trust.”
Micah Shumake, founder & creative director
Listen first.
Every project starts with a conversation, not a pitch. We learn the brand, the audience, the constraints, and the ambition before we touch a single frame.
Direction over decoration.
We don’t add style on top. We find the visual language that already lives inside the brand and give it shape, consistency, and a system that scales.
Ship, don’t present.
Everything we make is built to run — campaign-ready formats, social-native dimensions, print-ready files. No mood boards that die in a deck.
