Mekhi Baldwin

HELLO.

^{I’m a multi-disciplinary art director and designer. My professional career began in industrial design with a focus on soft goods like luggage, footwear, and accessories. I’ve been fortunate to work in-house for brands like Puma, The North Face, Samsonite, and JanSport specializing in color, materials, and trend. I ventured out on my own afterwards under the moniker MEKEBA (my middle name is Kevin - see what I did there? 😏️). My freelance work was primarily dedicated to working on brand design for various non-profit organizations like The Black Lives Matter Global Network, bklyn boihood, the #metoo mvmt, and Three Point Strategies (among others).

Currently, my professional work consists of art direction, design, and management for the health and wellness website, Greatist.com.}^{My personal work is centered around exploring various parts of my identity; often by “resurfacing” the incredible work of the Black, Queer, and/or Trans elders and ancestors that have come before me. I enjoy using tools like graphic design, curation, and photography to create multi-media experiences.}

^{My dog Rocko and I call Atlanta, Georgia home.
