Built Across Mediums
Artist instinct. Director vision. Developer structure.
I am Elyse Mikhayla, the Creative Art Director and Developer behind Cyclone Art Studios.
My work began with custom art in 2012 and expanded through branding, promotional materials, live events, print, signage, social content and digital spaces.
Today, that same creative foundation guides websites, workflows, dashboards and simple custom tools. The medium changes. The goal stays the same: bring the vision into form.
Many kinds of art belong here. Fine art, visual systems, live experiences and code.
