Michael DeBiase

Creative Director & Lead Designer

Twenty years of marketing and brand design, mostly inside teams that had to grow fast. Right now I'm contracting and running Lo Studio, my boutique design studio, and I'm happy to keep doing that. I'm also open to a full-time role if it's the right fit. Learn more about Michael.

What I'm looking for

The role

Senior, lead or principal design and video roles at a company on a mission. Marketing and brand design is my specialty, and I work closely with product design when teams need it. Contract engagements through Lo Studio work too.

Where

Remote is my preference, and I'm open to hybrid or on site for the right opportunity. Ideally the San Francisco Bay Area or New York City.

What I bring

Range plus speed. One designer covering what would otherwise take five specialists, with the quality kept high and the work shipped on schedule.
