This talented creative has had an illustrious career working with the biggest and most influential names in the sporting and media industry.
Mike prides himself on his multi-disciplinary background, boasting a diverse portfolio. It is exactly this use of different mediums, taking influence from different movements and varying styles which caught our interest.
