MJ Hitchcock

I'm a passionate, impact-driven designer with a love for creating bold, immersive experiences. My work blends sustainability, advocacy, and inclusivity, exploring the intersection of design, nature, and community. From branding and digital media to environmental graphics and spatial design, I focus on enhancing how people interact with their surroundings—making every project user-centric and meaningful.

With a background in sustainability and a love for music, art, and hands-on creation, I strive to merge creativity with purpose. Whether crafting visuals or shaping physical spaces, my goal is to foster connection, improve quality of life, and infuse every project with a sense of vibrancy, emotion, and human touch. I’m always exploring new ideas, materials, and technologies to push my work further and stay ahead in an ever-evolving design landscape.

I'm a Los Angeles-based designer who finds joy in crafting and hands-on creativity—printmaking, sewing, and painting—while drawing inspiration from California’s natural beauty. I love camping, road-tripping, traveling the globe, dancing, and seeing live music. I'm always eager to learn and am inspired by creativity and meaningful connections.
