About

About

I'm Tuari Micah Walker, but you can call me Micah. I direct organic content for brands, organizations and teams: the strategy, the shoot, the edit, and the system that keeps it going.

Since 2013, I've designed and contributed to 21 murals and public installations across North Carolina, spending my first eight years training and painting under two national muralists. In 2018 I founded Micah The Artyst to build my own fine art practice, and my work has since reached homes nationally through HomeGoods.

Along the way I learned that creating the art was only half of it. The other half was the people and the plan: the program, the budget, the partnership, getting paid, and being seen for the work. So I learned that half too. I've co-run grant-funded artist cohorts, directed visual arts for a film and arts festival, advised 100+ brands, agile teams and organizations, negotiated creator and brand partnerships, and taught 48 workshops and courses.

Today I help brands, organizations and creatives line up what they make with the people they're trying to reach, and make sure the reason people stay connects back to their mission and story. I also build the systems behind it, including AI workflows that help lean teams do more, which I test in my Lab.
