I'M
MIKE CUTHELL

But since you're on the site, you already knew that.
A London-born, Brooklyn-based Group Creative Director

Most bios tell you about who a person is,
so this one is mostly about how I think.
If it sticks, we'll find time to talk about the rest. 

I LIKE FINDING
THE FUN IN
THE FRICTION

Searching for questions like... 
     
      Who says 'the best coffee' must be made by a barista?
      What if the answer to freedom was less choice, not more? 
      Why can’t a villain win?
      How do you say you’re the best, if you can’t legally?
      Could open-sourcing an artist’s voice be more powerful than protecting it?
      When did Halloween stop being so scary? 
     
Then, having fun with that friction until you find an answer
that puts you in a category of one.
