I’m Mike, a brand identity designer and lettering artist based in Toronto. I help founders, creative teams, and culture-driven brands craft expressive visuals that connect.
My work blends custom lettering, illustration, and identity systems that help brands communicate clearly, stand out with confidence, and leave a lasting impression across digital, print, and in-person touchpoints.
Whether it’s a lifestyle brand, a cultural campaign, or a product launch, I bring a balance of craft and clarity to every project. The goal is always the same: to create bold, custom, and strategically grounded work that reflects what you stand for and connects with the people you want to reach.

Approach
Design isn’t decoration—it’s how your brand speaks. I build identity systems that scale with you, a visual language that captures your voice, and lettering that makes people feel something before they even read the words.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or evolving what already exists, I’ll guide you through a collaborative, strategic, hands-on process with outcomes that are clear, expressive, and built to last.
Let's Work Together
If your brand needs a stronger visual identity, custom lettering, campaign graphics, or merch-ready design, I’d love to hear from you.
