As Principal and Managing Director of Landers Brannon, Mike not only leads the agency’s client operations, but also serves as a fearless leader to the entire team. He is dedicated to growth and success of the consortium, both as a whole and for each and every partner and ringer we're lucky enough to work with every day.

Mike's unyielding passion for design developed at a young age, and truly came to the forefront after graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with degrees in Cognitive Psychology and Business Administration. After a few stints at several Austin "dot com bubble busters", Mike started his first interactive design studio in 2002. Now, with fourteen years of professional experience, eleven as a business owner, Mike has developed both the design acumen and business knowledge necessary for our clients' success.

An advocate of clean, user-friendly design, Mike’s keen eye for detail has always defined his work. While design has always been his first passion, eleven years of business ownership have taught Mike a great deal about management, communication and organization.

Beyond the office, Mike treasures time spent with his wife and two young sons. He's an avid (albeit mediocre) golfer and soaks up live music, local restaurants, and the outdoors at any opportunity he gets. Although he loves digital, he’s happy to get off the grid whenever time allows. Read Less
