––––  BUILT TO BRING
IDEAS TO LIFE

06  –––––  about me

Hello — I’m Michael Devor, founder of Brand Guide Design.

I’ve worked as a designer and art director in the sport and outdoor industry for over 20 years. That experience has shown me that brands need tools that grow with them — systems that reflect who they are, keep things clear, and help teams create with more confidence.

Brand Guide Design is built on everything I’ve learned — a way to bring strategy, story, visual identity, and custom AI together in one dynamic, future-proof system. It helps brands stay consistent, save time, and bring ideas to life.


A glimpse of my journey:
–––––
Started at Media Front, a leading multimedia design agency in the early 2000s.
–––––
Moved to Chamonix in 2002 and co-founded Spinitch Media.
–––––
Art Director for Modart Magazine.
–––––
Art Director for Boardsport Source Business Magazine.
–––––
Designed for many well-known brands in the outdoor and sports categories.
In 2023, I moved back to Hemsedal, Norway, where I continue to help brands organize, manage, and express themselves. If you’re looking for brand strategy, brand guidelines, and AI, I’d be happy to connect.
