I'm Mikey Burton, a hard-working creative person from the Midwest with a passion for design. There is letterpress ink on my blue collar and I wear my Ohio-shaped heart on my sleeve. I graduated from Kent State University with a BS/MA in Visual Communication Design (fancy term for graphic design). While at grad school, I started a company with two friends. Over the past four years, our company Little Jacket has worked for such clients as The Sundance Channel, Wilco, Spoon (the band), MTV2, and the Cleveland RTA. In that short time, we've received much recognition; I personally have received awards from Communication Arts, Print, HOW, CMYK, and Logo Lounge. I work hard, design fearlessly, and love what I do.
