Great organizations deserve great creative.
I bring complex ideas to life through clear, compelling design.
Trusted by teams at the White House, CDC, NIH, WHO, Disney, JetBlue, and organizations improving lives around the world.

Hi, I’m Mike Kittredge.
I’m a creative director and designer with more than 20 years of agency experience.
I work on everything from campaigns and digital experiences to reports, presentations, motion graphics, and other visual communications.
I’m equally comfortable leading the creative or working alongside an established team. When a project calls for additional expertise, I bring in trusted creative specialists to build the right team around the work.
The result is senior-level creative with a team that scales to fit the work.

Experience Without the Ego
Over the years, people I’ve worked with have told me I have a knack for making complicated projects feel manageable.
I think a lot of that comes with experience.
Sometimes the brief is buttoned up and the creative direction is clear. Sometimes there’s a mountain of information and no obvious place to start. And sometimes the work is already underway when something changes, gets stuck, or simply isn’t working.
After 20+ years, I’m comfortable in all of those places. I know how to get up to speed, ask the right questions, and separate personal preference from what’s right for the audience. I can lead the creative direction, work within one that’s already established, or get hands-on and start making.
Experience doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means knowing where to look for them, what to pay attention to, and how to keep the work moving in the right direction.Get In Touch →
