Mikko Mananghaya is a home-cook, collector of lost trinkets, and a hungry creative. He is a designer motivated by a central idea: to create things unapologetically and explore fearlessly.

Mikko’s work in communication design started at California State University Monterey Bay as the production manager for the local student-run newspaper, The Lutrinae. Mikko managed the production and layout of each publication. The Lutrinae received recognition for Best Overall Design and Best Newspaper at the California College Media Awards 2020.
