“Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple.”
Hello, I’m Michael Peretti- an artist & musician born & raised in Seattle, who currently lives in the sand & sun of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Building a career as a freelance graphic artist for just over a decade, I have helped many churches, businesses, and entrepreneurs upgrade their design and brand identity game. I have a passion for creating logos, illustrations, & brand systems. I would call my style simple, minimal, & clean. My design inspiration comes from just about everywhere, but I especially like vintage design from the 40’s 50’s & 60’s.
Another passion of mine is music. When I sat down to play my first drum set in my early teens, I knew this was the instrument I was destined to play. As I grew into a musician, I’ve had the opportunity to play with hundreds of musicians, been a member of a couple bands, and was a worship director at my church for seven years. Live performing has allowed me to hone many skills including, playing to a room, improv, troubleshooting on the fly, and more. These days, I enjoy teaching drums, doing occasional studio work, and performing live whenever I can.

I have always been drawing and making things ever since I could remember. I took as many art classes as I could growing up, but it wasn't until high school that I found a niche doing graphic design work. My first project was a poster for a concert at my school and I fell in love with the process straight away. I love being able to tell stories through color, shapes, & type. The challenge of creating something that’s not only beautiful, but meaningful is truly what keeps me in going.

Design services vary based on the project, scope, services, etc. It’s similar to buying a bicycle, it all depends on your needs. What type of riding will you be doing? Do you ride road, mountain, or gravel? What components would you like? It’s all in the details. Feel free to reach out HERE with as many details about your project as you can. I’d be more that happy to get an estimate worked up for you.

It varies slightly from project to project, but generally I start with finding inspiration- this could be colors, pictures, textures, or shapes. From there, I go into sketching down ideas and then move to the computer to create concepts. During my sketching and design process, I run through many different ideas before I land on the concepts I present. After that, it’s on to finalizing the design and creating deliverables.
