Hello! Hallo! Hola! Bonjour!
My name is Mike and I'm a freelance Designer/Animator who enjoys to travel and gawk at supermarkets around the world. I am not that big into the sights, but more into the culture and chatting over a beer with new people. I'd also like to play some futbol/fußball/soccer wherever.
I'm originally from Philadelphia, USA, but I've been living in Munich & Berlin, Germany the last 4 years so I can speak German. I'm currently living in my hometown of Philadelphia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learning German was really hard. I also rotoscoped an animation (drew each frame) which took about 80 hours and the animation was only about 40 seconds. Whomp whomp..
