We were lucky to catch up with Mykell Rushton recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Mykell, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by sharing your thoughts about the pros and cons of family businesses

I believe in family businesses, they leave your family with a legacy and help shape the minds and character of the children. For example my family had a hair salon and i use to be the receptionist it didn’t last long but it taught me to keep a good schedule, be polite and helpful, how to answer the phones, being organized and clean. The task that had working there help mold me and take those tools into my everyday life, that i can share with my future kids and nieces and nephews.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Hello Again Beautiful People, My name is Mykell Rushton and I have my own business called Mykell Designs!
I am a graphic designer, photographer and i also make my own skin and hair care.
I got into graphic design because i love ART! growing up my mother use to draw and she was also a nail tech and would do crazy designs and it always had me excited to see what she would next. I would sit and watch her draw and see how at peace she was when she in her zone and i wanted to be in that same zone! Also growing up my mother was a model and i loved seeing the old pictures of her and made want to capture every moment with the people i loved. This is how i ended up at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. They offered so many classes geared to what i needed to fulfil my dream in both ART and Photography. I take pride in my work and create a bond with anyone i work with, it’s not just a job to me this is something i love and i want my clients to feel like they are family. I am a small business and trying to grow, i am always open to feedback and love hearing from people that use my services or products. Like i mentioned before i am a graphic designer so help with your branding for your company, a photographer and i have my own skin and haircare line, i use organic and natural ingredients. I love seeing a smile on people faces and making them feel great from the inside out! I look forward to meeting and gaining new people into my world!

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy for growing my clientele is word of mouth, i do a lot of work in a timely manner and accommodate and pivot with my clients and they are gratefully and they pass my information’s off with ease.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

Yes, i want to build a legacy for my future family and just put beautiful art into the world.
