About

Mikel Tan

Creative Director

Thanks for visiting! So, a little about me - I attended Woodbury University. During my time there, I made the Dean’s List and interned at a media/publication company. In 2008 I earned my BFA in Graphic Design. I was catapulted into Web Design and worked in the entertainment industry. Throughout the years, I expanded my range which included hair salons and bakeries all the way to professional athletes and Grammy award winning singers. In 2010, during the growth of mobile-centric design, I worked on 2 iPhone apps for the bar/restaurant industry. This spawned a new level of interest and would later coincide with my current job.

App design prompted me to know & understand code so I learned HTML and CSS as a Front-end Developer. In addition, I spent 10+ years designing websites for the legal and home service industry. I became a Director of Design where I led a team of designers. After a few amazing years with that team, I pivoted into Product Design where I learned UI/UX and motion design to create website builders and a CRM platform. Most recently, I joined forces with a digital agency as a Creative Director. Along with that role, I also take on the responsibility as the main Graphic Designer for an event planning company.

It may seem like my hands are full but I’m very driven and persistent about personal development. I’m constantly and actively seeking creative outlets because there is so much to see and problems to solve. It’s been a hell of a ride and I’m grateful for all the networking events I’ve attended and relationships I’ve been a part of that has led me to this point in my 15+ year career. My motto is to stay consistent and stay hungry.
