Michael Mikulec, a distinguished Creative/Art Director and Designer, has explored various domains, including graphic design, broadcast, and international creative projects. He originated from Connecticut and is now settled in Savannah, GA. His path is decorated with diverse experiences and achievements.

His journey in the creative field began at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design, setting the stage for his future endeavors. Upon graduating, he embarked on a career in broadcast design at ESPN in Bristol, CT. His tenure there was marked by significant contributions to two NBA Finals and the receipt of two Sports Emmy Awards, one of which was for his work on the "This is SportsCenter" show.

Following Michael's time at ESPN, he moved to Troika Design Group in Los Angeles, where he was integral to high-profile projects like the launch of the CW network, MTV's HD platform, and the design of the 2008 Olympic logo for NBC's coverage of the games.

Craving a broader perspective, he relocated to Rome, Italy, to lead the international creative efforts at Frame by Frame. His work reached clients across Europe and the Middle East, including Canal+, SKY, Mediaset, NILE, and NBC Universal. His pursuit of advanced studies took him to Yale University, where he pursued a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. Under the mentorship of renowned designers such as Michael Beirut and Irma Boom, his design skills were honed, culminating in the successful pitch for Fenway Park's 100th Anniversary Logo.

Capitalizing on the success of the Fenway Park project, Michael established an American branch for Frame by Frame. As Partner and Creative Director, he worked with prestigious clients such as ESPN, CBS Sports, Fendi, AS Roma, and the Miami Dolphins. He also played a crucial role in branding Curaleaf, now the largest Cannabis company in the U.S., from naming the company to developing marketing strategies.

His career also included freelancing in Los Angeles, working with numerous agencies and clients, including Fox Sports. Responding to a call from SCAD, he returned to his alma mater as an associate chair before being promoted to Department Chair of the Graphic Design Department, the largest of its kind globally.

Michael is an independent Creative/Art Director & Designer based in Savannah, GA. His career is a testament to his versatility and extensive expertise, which continue to influence his professional activities.

His commitment to philanthropy is evident in his various charitable activities, including creating murals for the Greenbriar Children's Center and supporting young black creatives.

His contributions benefit organizations like the Red Cross, St. Jude Children's Hospital, and Mental Health America, reflecting his deep commitment to community service.
