Hi, I'm Mikee, founder of 5thHouse Studio.

My career started long before branding. I spent over a decade working inside restaurants- from FOH operations and events to marketing, and new venue openings. Being on the operational side taught me something most agencies never experience: a great restaurant isn't built by great marketing alone, but rather  when every part of the business works together.

Over the years, I've helped develop event programs, reposition struggling brands, launch new concepts, and build marketing systems that drive real guest behavior. Through that work, I realized the biggest challenge wasn't a lack of design or advertising, it was a lack of strategic direction.

That's why I started 5thHouse Studio.

Today, I partner with restaurant founders to shape concepts before they open and strengthen brands after they launch. Together we define what the business stands for, how guests should experience it, and how every touchpoint (from the brand identity and messaging to the menu, marketing, and guest experience) works together to create something people remember.

Because branding isn't just about looking different.

It's about giving people a reason to choose you, return to you, and tell other people about you.
