Frequently Asked Questions

Established in 2013, MPS is the design studio of artist & musician Michael Peretti-[that’s me.] I create unique design products that serve to make the world a little more fun.

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.

The short answer is yes although with my current availability, I will only take on a project if it’s the right fit. 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.

Yes, I’m currently accepting new drum students. You can find out more about lessons HERE.

Super easy. You can schedule, make a payment, and schedule future lessons all online HERE.


Drum consultations are a time to get to know each other to see if I would be a good fit for you. I’m also available to answer questions and review your drum set up so you are ready for lessons. Consultations are usually about 30 minutes in length.

Currently, I’m only booking virtual lessons. When and if that changes, I will let everyone know.

No. You don’t need a drum set to take lessons, although it is highly recommended. All you need to get started is a pair of sticks and a practice pad of some kind. You can find the equipment that I recommend HERE.

You will need a computer, phone, or tablet with an internet connection and access to Zoom. Drum sticks and a practice pad of some kind are essential. A drum set is preferred, though not required.
