About Mike Shaw

Mike Shaw, born and raised in Harrisburg, PA, has gone down an unconventional path when it comes to his art. His passion for design and creating art came later on in his college career at the University of Maryland and it was too late to turn around and change his major to the arts.  Instead of throwing that idea to the side and pursuing other career paths, he decided to chase this dream even if it meant dedicating years teaching himself not only the craft and discipline of design, but also the multiple software and programs needed to bring his ideas to life.  Mike had already been running Glimpse Graphic Design with his best friend from kindergarten, Andre Bransford, around 2009 and served as Creative Director for a few years before taking the plunge into becoming a designer himself.  Glimpse has seen much success over the years working with various clients all over the world on brand development, logo design, clothing/apparel design, and many high profile musicians on their album artwork and packaging.  Some noteworthy clients are Grammy Award Winning producer Hit-Boy, platinum selling recording artist Wiz Khalifa, and Hilton Hotels.

After years of mastering the art of design and working with a diverse and wide range of clients, he decided to venture in the fine arts and explore a more creative side outside of work with clients (which he still dedicates much of his time to).  With his first print collection "Nostalgia" releasing September 17th, he looks forward to continuing down the road less traveled and achieve his goals as well as formulate new ones.
