We had the good fortune of connecting with Michael Sneed and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Michael, other than deciding to work for yourself, what else do you think played a pivotal role in your story?
The single most important decision I’ve made is how I chose to spend my time each day. Time is the one resource that cannot be renewed, and me learning how I chose to invest my time has helped me through my journey. Whether in learning, spending time with my family, building relationships, working toward long-term goals, or engaging in distractions. The investment of my time has had a profound impact on me. Ultimately, deciding to use time wisely is the foundation upon which all my successes have been built.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What sets me apart from others is the way I merge storytelling, design, and strategy. I’m not just creating visuals or campaigns. I’m crafting experiences that connect with people on a deeper level. My background spans digital content creation, brand identity, and creative direction, which allows me to approach every project with a holistic vision. I’ve always believed that I have the creativity to serve a purpose, and I bring that mindset into everything I do.

What I’m most proud of is staying true to my vision while evolving with the industry. There’s a lot great creators in this digital space, and it’s easy to get swept up in trends. But what excites me most is creating work that’s not only visually powerful but also emotionally resonant and culturally relevant.

Getting to where I am today hasn’t been easy. Like many creatives, I started with limited resources, a small network, and a lot of self-doubt. There were moments when I questioned everything, when clients didn’t come, when projects didn’t go as I liked or when I felt creatively blocked. But I kept pushing. I invested in my skills, learned the business side of things, and built relationships that aligned with my values.

The biggest challenges taught me the most. I learned to value consistency over perfection, and to protect my creativity like it’s a currency. I also learned the power of saying “no” to the wrong opportunities so I could say “yes” to the right ones.

What I want the world to know is that my work is about more than just aesthetics, it’s about impact. I want my brand and story to inspire others to lead with intention, to be bold with their ideas, and to build something meaningful, not just marketable. Whether I’m working on a brand campaign, directing a visual shoot, or collaborating with other creatives, my mission is the same: create with purpose, lead with authenticity, and always keep evolving.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take my friend throughout the week to the bars and lounges in Third ward, Heights, Mid-town, Downtown. Pull up to the Pour Horsemen Podcast where there’s always a vibe going on. Take them to see some historical monuments and check out some sports events. Houston has so much to provide. It would be a great time.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to shout out all my close family and friends. They’ve been there for me through this process. Helping me along the way in any way they could. Whether it was advice, deep conversations, or just helping me out in any type of way with productions. They have supported me and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I would like to shout out God! None of what I do is possible without the blessings from god. I’m grateful everyday for it all. I would also like to shout out myself! I know we fail to give ourselves a pat on the back for all that we do. But, I’m aware of all of the work and sacrifices I make to be able to make things happen. I’m a dedicated individual, and in this moment I would like to shout out myself!
