Brand • Social • Marketing • Abuja → Worldwide
I'm Michael — I turn ambitious brands into scroll-stoppers.
Graphic Designer — Brand, Social & Marketing Specialist. Strategic visual systems that don't just look premium — they convert. Based in Abuja, Nigeria. Working worldwide.
Work that converted.
Three services. One goal: make you money.
As Michael Akinbodewa, I don't sell pretty files. I build systems that compound.
BRAND DESIGN
Identities that own the market
As Michael, I engineer brands to command premium pricing — not just look good on Behance.
SOCIAL MEDIA DESIGN
Feeds that stop thumbs
I build scroll-stopping systems for founders tired of generic Canva. Saves, shares, sales.
MARKETING DESIGN
Creatives that convert
Performance-first. Every creative I design as Michael is tested for CTR, CVR, ROAS.
How I turn briefs into bankable brands.
Discover & Strategy
I audit your market, audience, and offer. Define positioning, hooks, and conversion levers before design.
Concept & Identity
High-fidelity directions — not moodboards. You see how your brand sells, not just how it looks.
System & Rollout
I build the machine: social templates, ad systems, guidelines, and assets your team can actually use.
Launch & Scale
Launch pack + 14-day support. I optimize creatives based on early data. Design that pays for itself.
About Me
I'm Michael Akinbodewa, a graphic designer obsessed with the intersection of aesthetics and conversion. For 4+ years, I've helped founders, startups, and growing brands across Africa and beyond turn vague ideas into magnetic visual systems.
I specialize in three things that actually move the needle: Brand Design that owns markets, Social Media Design that stops thumbs, and Marketing Design that drives sales.
I don't do generic templates. I build strategic design systems that compound — the kind your competitors wish they had.
From freelance hustles to full brand partner.
First $50 logo. Learned that good design without strategy is just decoration.
Nitched into brand design. 30+ identities in one year. Obsessed over systems, not just logos.
Clients needed more than logos — they needed feeds that sell and ads that convert. Built the trifecta.
Formalized as Michael Akinbodewa Studio. Premium positioning, waitlist, global clients.
2 retainer spots per quarter for ambitious founders who want a designer who thinks like a growth partner.
Why founders pick Michael.
Strategic, Not Just Pretty
As Michael, I start with positioning, audience, and offer. Design decisions tied to business outcomes, not Dribbble likes.
Fast & Reliable
24h turnaround on retainers. No ghosting. You get a designer who shows up, communicates, and ships.
Systems, Not One-offs
You don't get files, you get a machine: templates, guidelines, and a system your team can scale without me.
Conversion Focused
I study hooks, CTR, ROAS. Every carousel, ad, and logo is built to make people stop, save, and buy.
Tools I live in. Skills that compound.
"I don't deliver files and disappear. As Michael, I stay for the launch, the first data, and the iteration. Premium work requires premium follow-through."
Clients don't just like it.
They bank it.
★ 4.9/5 avg • 98% retention • As Michael“Michael 3x'd our saves in 30 days. Our feed now actually sells coffee, not just looks pretty.”
“He turned our vague beauty idea into a packaging system that closes retail. Worth every dollar.”
“Finally a designer who gets performance. CTR up 67% since Michael rebuilt our ads.”
Straight answers. No fluff.
Everything founders ask before working with Michael Akinbodewa.
Premium design is cheaper than cheap design.
