“Michael Baca is a powerhouse creative. We worked together for over four years at both Google and Airbnb, and I can confidently say: you want Baca on your team! He is thoughtful, collaborative, and an outstanding communicator who elevates every project he touches. Baca consistently pushes the work to new levels, infusing joy (and humor) into everything he does. His attention to detail shines through in all aspects of his process, and his keen eye for both photography and storytelling sets him apart—he thrives where narrative and visuals intersect, delivering exceptional results for brands. Beyond his creative talent, Baca excels at bringing people together and inspiring them to reach greater heights. He cares deeply about his collaborators and fosters a positive, productive team environment. I loved working with Baca and highly recommend him for any creative team. Any organization would be lucky to have such a talented and dedicated creative mind.”

From Here (Independent Magazine)

See publicationI decided to try my hand at publishing an independent magazine. I wanted to focus on film, music, and art in Oakland and the Bay Area. Issue One is available in print only. I served as Creator and Creative Director on this project. I also contributed as a photographer, illustrator, designer, writer and interview. It was an immense challenge but I am very proud of the final product.
