This is what I want to check out, this class in high school. I went on a field trip in high school, and we ended up making little short films. Michael: Yeah, it’s strange the how the advice that people give you sometimes ends up impacting where you end up in life. So that’s funny you had a similar thing happen. Plus, my favorite artists were Miró and Dalí. I was already taking Spanish and I loved it. Michael Bruny-Groth: Thanks for inviting me, Colleen.Ĭolleen: Now, it’s so funny that you signed up for film and got put into design class because it reminds me of when I spoke to a what I call “mis-guidance” counselor in high school and she told me that I had to take French in order to study design in college. Michael can be found on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.Ĭolleen Gratzer: Welcome to the podcast, Michael. Logo Package Express was born from that research, and now the product is his primary source of income. He studied design blogs looking for a problem to solve that overlapped with his areas of expertise. He worked for agencies for four years and then as a freelancer for two years.Īfter one of his major contracts had to shut down, he decided to try making a product for passive income. After getting a BFA in Graphic Design from Western Michigan University, he moved to Chicago without a single job prospect or friend in the city.

He signed up for a film class but was put into a design class instead. Michael Bruny-Groth found his passion for graphic design by accident when he was in high school.
