Meet Mike, your Product Design Leader.

Born an artist in Iowa and shaped by his service in the United States Marine Corps, Mike brings a blend of corn-fed Midwest grit and global perspective to every project. Between the intensity of combat and the discipline of daily life, he began designing unit and platoon logos on t-shirts—an unexpected spark that ignited his design path.

After the military, he headed to the Rocky Mountain front range to immerse himself in the creative world, studying at the Colorado Institute of Art and Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Denver.

That path eventually carried him west, where he spent two decades in San Francisco & Silicon Valley, evolving alongside the industry and building smarter, more human-centered solutions for Bay Area Tech Giants and Advertising Agencies.

When the screen turns off, Mike is driven by the pull of the horizon. He’s just as at home carving through the South of France on a sport bike as he is navigating the winding backroads of Southeast Asia, chasing the kind of moments you only find when you’re far from the familiar.

Whether he’s exploring mountain passes in his Jeep, chasing coastline on a motorcycle, or disappearing into some wild stretch of some outdoor wilderness.
