Hello!
My name's Miller Ferguson,
I’m a communication designer focused on clarity, accessibility, and purpose-driven design. My work aims to do more than look good - it’s meant to be understood, used, and felt. Whether it's branding, public signage, or interface design, I gravitate toward pieces that quietly guide people, often shaped by everyday function and subtle human influence.
​
I approach projects with structure and focus, preferring to work deeply on one thing at a time. I start broad - thinking about context and intent - then drill into the details with organized, intentional execution. I often like to experiment with line, color, and text as tools to explore mood and movement. I work best with a mix of independence and collaboration, where feedback is strategic, not constant, and there’s room to balance creative exploration with real-world constraints.
​
My influences range from architecture and interior design to music and film - all disciplines that blend form and feeling. I value designs that hold meaning beneath the surface and create experiences that feel intuitive and considered. Humor, hierarchy, and usability are tools I use to engage people in my designs and captivate their attention.
I design for people, not platforms.
My goal is to make communication feel human - natural, purposeful, and impacting.
Design Philosophy
Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs - a single chair represented as an object, a photo, and a definition. Each form is valid, but they prompt us to ask which feels most “real” or meaningful. Design, career, and passion - they can all exist in different forms, but knowing which one I value most will help me shape a path that feels less like work, and more like life well spent.
Mission Statement
Design is communication.
If it needs explaining, it’s not speaking clearly.
Work Process
Bubblehouse by Modeski, Martin & Wood is one of those songs my dad used to play, but I think it’s quite representative of my working style and design experience. It’s largely due to the song’s structure, it’s strong and almost formulaic but leaves breathing room for improvisation. It’s completely instrumental, so it’s like a progressive beat that’s easy to move with. It represents my ideal mix of a casual work environment with structured processes. It’s laid-back but intentional and intriguing. It starts off sort of slow and simple, but things build on each other as it progresses into a solid rhythm that sustains itself and winds back down towards the end.
