Mikaiah is a writer and multidisciplinary creative whose work explores the intersections of identity, memory, and cultural belonging. Currently based in Austin by way of Illinois, she blends philosophical curiosity with narrative
insight, often drawing on personal experience to inform her storytelling. With a deep love for language and detail, she gravitates toward the quiet power of observation and how we translate what we see. This curiosity seeps into all avenues of her work, from the page to the screen to the needle, where she finds storytelling in texture, tension, and thread. Her practice is rooted in slowness, care, and a belief that the smallest moments are often the most revealing. She is currently writing her first book, inspired by one of her favorite pieces of writing, Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.
