My name is Michael Muranaka. I’m an artist and visual designer based on the Central Coast of California, where I was born, raised, and eventually decided to stay.
I’ve been making things professionally for 16 years — brand identities, websites, fonts, illustrations, and more. I designed a typeface called Dolce Vita that’s been downloaded over 2.5 million times. I’ve built brands for wineries, filmmakers, and athletes. I co-own a hot sauce company called Sauce Baby with my wife, and we’re proud of it.
Outside of client work I make art — bold vector illustration with thick outlines and too much personality. I also produce and DJ minimal house and techno, run a bunch, and cook most of the meals in this house (which is how the hot sauce thing started).
If you’re here for the fonts, they’re over here.
