Mike Petriano

Mike is the Creative Director at Founders Fund, where he strives to create enduring brand experiences through thoughtful—if often unconventional—design. Over the past 14 years, he has produced each piece of visual collateral the firm owns, from its distinctive logo and website to the widely shared Opening Notes video montage and an extensive apparel line. 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 visuals for Grammy-nominated producers at Warner Music Group. 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, hosts album listening parties in Yucca Valley, enjoys fumbling around on guitar and tailoring clothing.
