Hello, my name is Mike. I do Web Design, Graphic Design and Illustration.
This breadth of skills has been cultivated through 16 years of education, client work, one offs and wacky endeavors.
I came to design work by way of fine art. I studied drawing and printmaking and earned a BFA from the University of Minnesota….way back when. At some point in time living that Bohemian lifestyle of “being an artist" started to lose its luster. I had already been freelancing for some time, but I decided to get serious about it. I went back to school to hone my graphic design skills and surprised myself with an unexpected affinity for web design.
I resumed freelancing armed with more skills and experience; and for the past five years my focus has been website redesigns & branding for small to mid-sized non-profits.
Freelance is a buck wild time and it’s treated me well; but I’m ready to move on to something outside myself. I’d like to grow as a designer, learn from others and share my knowledge as part of a team. Maybe your team?
If you like what you see here, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thanks for reading.
