Hey Mike, will you make me something ?! Creative Problem Solver, Art Director sometimes moonlighting as an illustrator.

HEY THERE,
FRIEND!

My name is Mike. I am an Art Director and Designer but I like to call myself a collaboration catalyst. I currently work on the editorial team at Health Union with a focus on products. I live and work in not always sunny Philadelphia with my wife, kiddo, and beagle.

If you’re looking to collaborate on something that means a lot to you, please, reach out however you prefer » email / twitter / instagram

I share a lot of things on the ‘gram that won’t see the light of day on here, so pop over there to see something fun.

I don’t know why, but penne pasta is the most Italian of pastas to me. I can’t defend my stance but I have it, securely.

Gnocchi are my favorite pasta. Toss them in some pesto with some chicken and thats a pasta party in my belly!

On a whim I put together this type lock up for a series of peer led #typography classes that myself, @acleartrace, @automaticbizooty, @jameelaillustration, and some others are presenting to the @healthunion_ux team. We’re spending a month learning everything from the basics of type to #handlettering and everything in between.

This is a little prescriptive and a little reactive. Last week was a bit blah; I woke up today to the sun coming in the windows and got some vitamin D. Here's to the good week trend continuing.

You’ve reached the Friday evening fire pit. It’s time to stop, have a bite and a nip, and take a long rest.

For some reason the algorithm showed me #typewriterguy from vintage @sesamestreet, probably because I'm a #xennial. Anyway, I thought he was the perfect #MondayVibes. So here you go!

Sometimes the simplest metaphors carry the most weight. Holding an umbrella for someone is such an intimate experience, as is being a caregiver for someone.
