MIKAYLA BUFORD

DESIGN RESEARCHER

Describe yourself
in three words.

Colorful, humorous, curious


What is your happy place?

My favorite spice store called By the Pound in Ann Arbor.
It was were I found rest, cooking inspiration, and delight.


What is your dream project or collaboration?
Who do you want to partner with?

It would be awesome to do a project with the National Museum of African American History and Culture in partnership with Local Projects and Diaspora Solidarities Lab


Mikayla radiates a warm and caring energy everywhere she goes. She brings integrity, a critical eye, and a thoughtful approach to all of her design research and strategy work. I am so lucky and grateful to be able to call her both a friend and a colleague. She is thoughtful, intelligent, crafty, and the ultimate thrift and skincare queen. If you ever can’t find her, she’s probably at the library or TJ Maxx.
