Mike Petriano

Mike is the Creative Director at Founders Fund, where his aim has been to produce enduring brand experiences through thoughtful, if often unconventional design. Over the past 14 years, he has created every piece of Founders Fund visual collateral, from its distinctive logo and website to the widely shared Opening Notes video montage and an extensive apparel catalog. He was Art Director and Set Designer for Hereticon and Hereticon: Apocalypse Ball.

Before Founders Fund, Mike built brand identities for Peter Thiel incubated companies at Thiel Capital and designed assets for artists at Atlantic Records. He got his start in visual storytelling through New York’s skate scene.

Outside of Founders Fund, Mike advises We Landed, a creative agency focused on building innovative companies and technologies.
