Michael K. Bigos, FOUNDER
MY STORY
Mantle Branding was founded to help visionary entrepreneurs transform inspired ideas into thriving, purpose-driven brands. With over 20 years of experience in the creative and IT industries, founder Michael brings a proven skill set, strategic insight, and design mastery to every project. His journey began in the U.S. Army, where he was a self-taught designer who later honed his craft in Europe, working hands-on with local businesses, non-profits, and entrepreneurs. After returning to the U.S. and completing formal design education, Michael expanded his expertise—delivering impactful branding solutions across a range of clients including non-profits, the Department of Defense, and both public and private sector organizations. For more than two decades, he has served entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses around the globe. And while his corporate experience is extensive, it’s the close, collaborative work with small businesses that remains the most fulfilling and grace-filled part of his career.
