I used to teach design at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and during that time, I had many great students pass through my class. It's always hard to remember every student you have in class, and some stand out more than others, one being Mikala. She was still so earnest, hard-working, and energetic about anything she worked on in class.  

Now, working in a User Experience field, she does art on the side, creating "dead things" (more about that in the podcast) and creating great stories through her sketches, inks, and pencils.

I hope you enjoy this podcast, and please forgive the small mistakes that happen (podcasting is still new to me). It was a pleasure to get to interview Mikala about her life as an artist, and I hope you enjoy it as well.
