Selected Work

Brand, advertising,
and e-commerce creative.

AI UGC Video Ads

UGC-style product videos for print, skincare, supplement, and real estate brands: hooks, scripts, presenters, product shots, and edits.

Complete ad packages: hook, script, shot list, B-roll, and CTA. A new concept could be tested without booking talent or a shoot day.

Social Ad Creative

Meta ads for churches, ministries, schools, and consumer brands. Creative direction, copywriting, design, video edits, and voiceovers.

Owned the full chain, from direction and copy through design, edit, and voiceover, so campaigns shipped without waiting on a handoff.

Meta Ads · Copywriting · Art Direction

Brand Identity

Logos and identity marks for financial services, HR, insurance, technology, and sports clients.

Twelve marks across five sectors, from regulated financial services and insurance to consumer sport.

Logo Design · Visual Identity

DTC Brand Creative: Lift + Rise

Packaging, product imagery, promotions, seasonal campaigns, and Shopify creative for a supplement and apparel brand.

One brand carried end to end, from packaging through Shopify PDPs, promos, and seasonal campaigns, as a single creative system rather than one-off requests.

Product Mockups & PDP Visuals

Framed mockups and room scenes for stadium, golf course, and patent art prints, produced in batches for print-on-demand product pages and ads.

Built as templates, not one-offs: Python and Pillow batch out frame, room, and gallery-wall combinations across three print-on-demand catalogs.

Trend Research & Brand Guides

Quarterly design-trend reports, vision boards, and logo, color, and type guidelines used to brief and align a design team.

The briefing layer behind a decade leading design: quarterly trend reports and guidelines a full team worked from.

About

20+ years of
making creative work.

Michael Bayquen

I'm a Creative Director with 20+ years across branding, advertising, e-commerce, web, print, video, and social content, leading multidisciplinary teams of designers, developers, and copywriters from concept to delivery.

Recently I've led creative for print-on-demand e-commerce brands, directed social and ad creative for churches and nonprofits at Missio, and now produce social clips, graphics, and web content for Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Solving.org. Alongside that I build AI-assisted production systems that turn one source asset into a full set of finished, on-brand deliverables.

My strongest work sits where creative quality, production discipline, and systems thinking meet: setting the direction, building the workflow, and staying hands-on when the work needs it.
