Mike is a believer in the value of communication through design. For over 25 years, he’s been a part of agencies big and small, delivering the right solutions to clients of all shapes and sizes in branding, identity, marketing and advertising.

Co-founder of an interactive agency in 2000 (RedStapler) which merged to form a mid-size marketing agency (Tenthwave) which was then acquired by another agency (Wirestone) which was ultimately acquired by Accenture Song, he has a track record of reliability and trust with clients. Mike approaches every opportunity with a creative flair, underpinned by his exceptional character and motivation. Some of his recent work at past and present agencies include:

• Redesigning the website experience for Dr. Praeger's Sensible Foods (Website Design)
• Re-branding of an oral rinse for gum care (Logo, Branding & Identity, Packaging, Website Design)
• Brand awareness campaigns for Irish airline Aer Lingus (Campaigns, Display Advertising, Social)
• Jamaica Tourist Board’s latest global advertising campaign (Display Advertising, Social, Print, Custom Font)
• U.S. Government recruitment marketing efforts for the TSA/DEA/CBP/BOP (Website Design, Display Advertising, Social)  

Getting back to his roots, Mike is bringing all of his hands-on Digital Advertising Agency experiences to brands and agencies as a solo operation as Mazar Design Group. A nimbler design studio can better service the creative needs of brands and agencies with the same level of professionalism and talent.

Kali (pronounced Kaylee, not Cali) is used to kindly correcting people after they mispronounce her name; this humility lends itself to everything she does. From mapping out the design process and research, to creating memorable graphics and strategic branding, she keeps you informed and values your input the whole way through.

‍

Kali is an award-winning layout designer and nonfiction writer who works primarily with education and nonprofit organizations. She is the current senior graphic designer for the University of North Alabama, which explains the purple and gold throughout her portfolio. She is also the proud owner of Humble Onion Creative, LLC, a multi-disciplinary creative strategy agency in Florence, Alabama. While your primary contact will be Kali, you may also be working with subcontractors.

When she’s not actively designing, she’s researching the latest trends and techniques anyway. She, her partner, Sam, and their dog, Sally, can be found curled up with books, video games, or anything else with a story to unfurl.
