A Little Bit About Myself

Posted On: May 5, 2011
Hey I’m Mike, a Los Angeles based motion designer/animator.

I obtained my B.F.A in Digital Media from Otis College of Art & Design in 2011 with a focus on motion graphics.

Prior to attending Otis I spent a couple years working towards a Computer Science degree, as well as doing freelance web design and print work. Eventually I reached a point where I enjoyed creating graphics for clients more than coding, so I decided to return to the arts.

This transition would lead to discovering motion graphics and the concept of visual storytelling. Using a combination of style, timing, and movement to grab the attention of the viewer, this felt like the next step in my progression as an artist/designer.

Other than artsy endeavors I usually split my time amongst watching movies, playing PC games, and finding decent television shows that usually get cancelled after a couple seasons. From time to time I get the itch to revisit coding and other geeky things, but usually just end up getting peoples printers to work…
