Michael M.

I’m Mike, an Austin-based creative director, shooter, and editor who loves turning big ideas into engaging visual stories, all while utilizing AI-enabled tools to help get things done. Right now, I’m putting those skills to work as a Senior Content Creator at Indeed.

My career has been a mix of agency leadership (ACD at Drumroll/BondX) and production house know-how (Creative Director and Cinematographer at Row One Productions). Because I can both lead the strategy and physically shoot/edit the content, I know what it takes to get a project across the finish line, whether it's a social campaign, a web ecosystem, or a feature-length documentary.

Outside of work, it's pretty much all Formula 1, top 10 lists, and pastries.

Career TL;DR:
🎥 Shot and edited a feature-length documentary
📈 Helped raise $4M+ for an Austin nonprofit
📧 Led design for Microsoft Store's CRM (campaigns scaled to 12M email subscribers) and helped launch 5 products
🎨 Art directed covers for Harper’s Magazine
🤖 Part of an AI enablement team to help streamline workflows at Indeed
