About

Hey, I'm Michelangelo!

Michelangelo Barbic

I'm a graphic designer working across brand identity, experiential design, digital content, motion graphics, and video production. I've shipped consumer-facing work at scale for major partnerships like NBA, WNBA, FIFA, Kia, and Times Square.

My bread and butter is Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects. I work end-to-end from initial concept to print-ready production files, collaborating with cross-functional teams to maintain brand consistency across just about every touchpoint! Whether it be digital, print, or environmental creative, I can adapt and contribute effectively when working in a team environment.

I have experience leading teams and managing projects as well. I am familiar with generative AI and where it is beneficial for commericial creative processes, however
the displayed projects DO NOT incorporate image generation tools that leverage AI.

All content showcased here has been selected to show my core skills and creative judgment as a designer, without the assistance of AI tools.
