Graphic Design MFA: Mike Perry

  • Mike Perry

    This graduate of Minneapolis College of Art and Design is a doer, maker, designer, illustrator, and author. His recent book Hand Job celebrates the life of hand-lettering in contemporary design. He worked on staff for Urban Outfitters and now runs his own studio in Brooklyn, NY. Yeah, and he designs wallpaper, too. He says, “Process is very important. I have always believed in the generating of piles, and I look at the process of ‘making’ like exercise. The more you exercise the stronger you become. Needless to say I do a lot of making for its own sake.”
