 | Graphic Designer
Description:
Stefan Sagmeister, in all of his years as a design guru, has probably never heard of Misha Birmele. Then again, he might have, but I just like mentioning both of us in the same sentence.
I've spent my time in Seattle, the south, and many places in between. Now I live in Pasadena, having moved for love, and access to the Los Angeles design community. Graphic Design is good to me--I love my career, I love my job, this is what I'd be doing even if I wouldn't get paid.
Resume:
DRIVEN
