Hey!
I’m Michael, a Mexican-American multi-disciplinary creative from Queens.
A designer, tinkerer, and fidgeter at heart, advertising has been my creative space for the last 12+ years. I’ve led photo and video shoots, developed national television, social, and digital campaigns for brands like Little Caesars, The USPS, and Stop & Shop. I’ve produced countless logos, websites, apps, billboards, direct mailers, banners, and many more left in design purgatory.
Constantly craving the physical, I bring my digital thoughts to life through clothing and apparel design with Chimeco Studio. It is my love letter to all things design, fashion, Queens, and Mexico manifested across various mediums.
If you’d like to chat or send movie recs, you can reach me at MichaelMendoza@ChimecoStudio.com
