Hey I'm Mikey! I am an artist, designer, creative entrepreneur, brand developer, wanderlust, adventurer. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and went on to attend THE Ohio State University. Upon graduation I moved out to California and started a career as a product designer for Nestle. For the better part of 6 years I traveled the world designing new products and launching them into international markets. In 2020 I moved to Miami to start my own creative agency called Awaken Koala. I now work and live in our creative studio based in Wynwood.

I can show you around all the great party spots, or just kick it and chill, swim, relax and connect.

My buddy and I stay here at our studio in Wynwood in the penthouse sweet on the top floor of a high-rise with a great sunset view in the center of all the action here in Miami.

Add me on Instagram @design_yourfuture and check out our creative work @awakenkoala
