Design for good made with heart, smart and silly characters.

I work as an independent studio of one, as a freelance artist and director, as well as frequently co-directing as the duo Mike & Ade through my animation collective, Practice. I live and work in Los Angeles, CA.

Hey, I’m Mike!

I’m a designer, director and animator making tactile, playful creations that bring joy and positivity. I’m passionate about using design and art to teach kids, young and old, to see the world in a new way, and to make a difference. My work ranges from cute bits for Sesame Street and Nick Jr to (mostly) grown up commercials and campaigns for brands and organizations.
