Mig is a graphic designer from Chicago trying to make nice things for nice people. He designs for the web at Threadless, asks people to share advice on Humble Pied and a few other things, too.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with really great design studios and agencies, now happily working as an interactive designer at the world’s most awesome t-shirt company: Threadless. Beyond the day work, I’m passionate about experimenting on side projects and collaborating with other creative types. I believe in paying positive experiences forward, so I’m eager to serve as a mentor in AIGA, as well as do presentations and lectures. I also teach at The Chicago Portfolio School, sharing my real world working experiences with my students. I’m not so interested in awards as I am in making a difference. But beyond all that design stuff, I’m also way into craft beer, pizza and dance parties.
