Hello. I’m Michael “Downey,” an experienced Creative Director (art) passionate about turning ideas into stories that move people and brands that shape culture.

I believe creativity isn’t just about making things look good—it’s about making people feel something. It’s about crafting bold narratives, building meaningful connections, and pushing boundaries to create work that inspires, influences, and lasts. From directing Super Bowl spots to leading global campaigns, I thrive where strategy and artistry collide, where culture fuels creativity, and where big ideas make an even more significant impact.

As a leader, I believe in empowering teams, embracing collaboration, and elevating every creative challenge into an opportunity. I stay ahead by understanding the pulse of fashion, media, tech, and design, ensuring that every project isn’t just relevant but revolutionary.

Buffalo-born, Pittsburgh-raised, Miami-shaped, and Chicago-driven.
