MJ Hitchcock
Creative Maker and Thinker
As a multidisciplinary designer and sensory thinker, my work is driven by compassion and inspired by culture, community, and history. I’m passionate about expressing bold and ambitious creative visions while being deeply committed to social advocacy, particularly LGBTQIA+ rights and equity for underrepresented communities. I believe in human-centric and empathetic design strategies that not only bring joy and excitement but also seek to reinvent and improve the world we share.
My goal is to work at the intersection of culture and community, blending my love for music, fashion, and the arts with a desire to uplift voices and create meaningful impact. I’m inspired by the unique stories individuals hold and strive to bring them to life through vibrant, sensory-driven design. My approach balances intuition, exploration, and thoughtfulness to craft experiences that engage all the senses.
