Originally hailing from Connecticut, Mike Mazzarella is now (very) happy to call the Black Hills his true home. Traveling the country after graduating with a BA in Communications from Southern New Hampshire University, Mike had discovered the endless beauty of the Black Hills - both in the nature and the people!

Mike started his creative career in 2016 with his first business, Mike Mazz Media, offering video, photo, and graphic design services to local companies in Spearfish. In 2017, he rebranded the renowned seafood company, Dakota Seafood, which propelled him to focus solely as a graphic designer.

Today, as Versa Studio, Mike helps his clients through brand strategy consulting and brand identity design. He works with high-end brands, local and national, helping them clarify their visions, strengthen their visuals, and grow confidence in their business overall. At the end of the day, Mike finds fulfillment in helping others make their dreams become a reality.

When he's not behind the computer, Mike enjoys hiking, camping, exercising, playing chess, and skateboarding (his knees tell him otherwise). Mike's honored to be a part of the AAF of the Black Hills this year, and cannot wait to see what's in store with such an amazing group.
