About the Author — Mike Fernandes
Creativity isn’t just a skill for me — it’s the lens through which I see the world. From the moment I could hold a pencil or frame a photograph, I’ve been wired to build, shape, and reimagine. Every idea I explore and every image I capture is part of a lifelong pursuit to understand what moves people, sparks action, and leaves a lasting mark.
Where It Began
My story starts with a pencil in one hand and a camera in the other. As a kid, I didn’t just observe — I invented. Where others saw shadows, I saw shapes. In silence, I heard stories. That sense of wonder never faded; it simply evolved.
Today, I work at the intersection of design, invention, and storytelling. Whether I’m sketching product ideas on a café napkin or shaping a brand’s identity from the ground up, I bring clarity to complexity and momentum to ideas that matter.
Why I Create
I’m driven by transformation — the moment an idea becomes something real, useful, or unforgettable. I’ve worked across industries including fashion, finance, renewable energy, and pro sports, helping brands find their pulse and express it with intention.
My approach blends disciplines: design thinking, visual storytelling, product innovation, and strategic execution. I live for the build — from first sketch to final delivery.
Life Behind the Lens
Photography was my first language. My earliest images were of sunlight spilling across my grandmother’s veranda or the weathered bricks of century‑old walls. My first camera was a Box Brownie, and from there I taught myself to shoot with instinct — chasing texture, light, and history.
For me, photography isn’t about perfection. It’s about truth. Cities change. Streets lose their names. Architecture disappears. My lens is my time capsule — a quiet rebellion against forgetting.

Looking Ahead
Everything I create is rooted in one belief: ideas can change the world — but only when brought to life with integrity and intention. Whether I’m capturing rain on an old warehouse or designing the next eco‑tech solution, I’m still that curious kid at heart — restless, relentless, and deeply in love with the creative process.
