He’s introduced 5,400 blindfolded strangers, created a search engine for secret Amazon, and excavated five bricks daily from a local preserve.

As the brain behind “Mike Ideas,” he got his start as a B2B toy salesman and inventor who turned a fun phone grip into a $10M venture launching 300+ products with an ex-Belkin VP. With a decade in design, from freelancing to agency contracts, he scales brand communities with stories rooted in self-actualization.

This 100% Cuban American carpenter and designer-turned-creative director from Winter Park, Florida, is an extroverted homebody with a sci-fi side. He’s delightfully married, cat dad to a shorthair named Pepito, an ultralight-ish backpacker, and a north star to your brand’s next best thing. 

Still get chills from executing on once-in-a-lifetime ideas? 

So does he.

Let Michael show you how to dive in, be inspired, and create magic for better.
