As we look ahead to 2026, I’m excited to share a milestone that represents both a personal and professional journey: 40 years in the advertising and design industry and 20 years of working independently as MLi Design.
These past four decades have taken me through agency life, corporate creative roles, digital media, and nearly two decades of running my own studio. Each chapter has shaped the way I approach design — with purpose, clarity, and a focus on meaningful communication.
To mark this 20/40 celebration, I’ve refreshed the MLi Design brand and updated the website. This was the right moment to refine the studio’s visual language, modernize the online presence, and reconnect with the clients, collaborators, and friends I’ve been fortunate to work with over the years.
If you’d like to explore the updated site, you’ll find new work samples, refined messaging, and a clearer look at what MLi Design offers today.
Thank you for being part of this journey — whether we worked together recently or decades ago. I’m grateful for every project, partnership, and conversation along the way.

More updates to come as we head into the official 20/40 milestone year.
