Nice to meet you.

I'm Mike, and I am a Creative Director with a background in Art Direction. 

As a freelancer I have bounced between agencies large and small. The sum of these experiences has been learning the virtues of working hard and fast, wearing multiple hats, and that ultimately the best idea is king. Along the way, I've been fortunate to pick up awards from every major award show, and coverage from all the major media outlets. 

Also, I've been told I'm not an asshole. So let's brew up a pot of coffee and get to work.
