Hello. My name is...
Mike , - The Boss
Graphic designer, marketeer, and surfer, Mike created Cloud 9 way back in 1994.
He has a reputation for creating ideas from even the least promising of briefs, and an attention to detail that you’ll find reassuring. If you’re looking for reliability, flexibility, and a genuine desire to help you succeed, with a bizarrely unorthodox approach you won’t be disappointed.
Passion? 24-7!

Okay- so here at Cloud 9, we’ve seen (and designed) a lot of business cards, but this guy is obviously passionate about his.
Is it the best business card you’ve ever seen? Are we wrong? Can Americans really design?
You be the judge…

Honda’s Shining Light
Honda’s brand new Let It Shine commercial, shot by Erik van Wyk through Bouffant breaks today.
