Hi, I’m Michael Wilson—a creative and marketing executive with 15+ years of experience delivering integrated, cross-channel campaigns and design leadership .
I’m currently VP of Design at Artemis Ward in Washington, DC, where since July 2024 I’ve led creative and design efforts for Meta, Microsoft, UT Austin, and Pew, overhauled video, web, and brand production workflows, steered new business pitches and RFPs, and managed a team designers through new tools and processes.
Before that, I was Head of Marketing and Design at Amres (Apr 2021–Jun 2024), where I drove a full brand transformation—boosting organic site traffic by 800%—built scalable design systems and CRM-integrated content tools, directed Figma/Webflow builds for retail and wholesale platforms, and established our internal data warehouse and analytics strategy .
Over the years I’ve crafted work for brands like Gatorade, Google, Disney, PayPal, Infiniti, and Kia, and I geek out on using Figma, Webflow, Relume, JavaScript, and automation to bridge creativity and efficiency. When I’m not sketching concepts or refining a design system, you’ll find me tinkering with new tools, mentoring teammates, or plotting the next big idea.
