MATERIALS INTO

CULTURE

Transforming materials, craft, and cultural references into thoughtful products, garments, and experiences.

One

Designer

Three Expressions

My work exists across three distinct creative lanes, each representing a different application of my design practice.

MICHAEL HOWARD is my professional design work — focused on apparel design, product development, CADs, technical execution, and industry collaboration.

JACHUKU OMOTAYO is my artist practice — where fashion, material, culture, experimentation, and storytelling come together through conceptual and self-directed work.

BANDIT STUDIOZ is my brand — translating my design language into consumer-facing products, collaborations, and ready-to-wear.

Different expressions. One designer.
