Bio: Michael is a third culture kid with an obsessive curiosity for all things storytelling, culture, and community. He brings 15+ years of experience in the creative, arts, and advertising industries as well as 8+ years of owning and operating the Milli creative agency in Seattle. As a Seattle native who grew up in the local Hip Hop scene, he's traveled the world competing in international breakdancing competitions, managed musicians, and shot photos and documentaries. He translated these experiences into his work early on with Red Bull as a brand manager, and later at award-winning global agencies such as Razorfish and McGarryBowen. After a stint on Madison Avenue in New York, he went on to found his own creative shop, Milli, in 2014, focused on creative, cultural, and social change. Since then, Milli has gone on to win numerous awards working with clients like Microsoft, Netflix, The Movement For Black Lives, the City of Seattle, and Amazon, including producing their own unbranded award-winning films. Outside of Milli, Michael has spent more than a decade working in the non-profit and creative industry to support BIPOC-led efforts for social and racial justice, representation, and in support of youth.
