David Mikula’s Summary

David Mikula has an obscene nerdy passion for all things Japanese, mopeds, Goonies and the Pacific Northwest. He sometimes has a neck beard, or feral neck bear depending on how well you know him. Living in Portland, Oregon he plays pinball, drinks the most delicious coffee, and creates eclectic visual styles and user experiences for brands online. He grows gnarly beards, enjoys talking about the future, and can't wait for the next level of pop culture to emerge.

Oh! And he smiles more than anyone I've ever met but it’s probably because his thoughts play out like movies.
