Artist | Designer | Creative Director

Payge Rumler is a Detroit-based multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges fine art and brand storytelling. Creating under the name madebypayge, she blends expressive visual language with strategic execution, building work that is both culturally grounded and commercially fluent.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from Albion College, graduating cum laude, with a concentration in Business and Management through the Gerstacker Institute for Business and Management. This dual foundation informs her approach: equal parts creative instinct and structural clarity.

Her fine art practice explores symbolism, identity, and layered narrative through illustration, painting, digital and mixed media. Her work has been exhibited in juried shows, mural festivals, and regional exhibitions throughout Michigan. Alongside her studio work, she currently acts as Art Director for Jewels of Detroit, a local creative collective responsible for many cultural events such as Poetry in the Park and MAPFest which have welcomed thousands of attendees throughout the years.

As a freelance designer and founder of madebypayge, she develops brand identities, packaging, event visuals, and digital campaigns for businesses, musicians, and cultural projects. She has also won design contests deals with major Michigan cannabis brands such as Mitten Extracts and Jeeter Brands.

Payge’s work exists at the intersection of culture, commerce, and community. She is available for commissions, exhibitions, creative direction, and brand collaborations.
