MJ is a Design Director at Happy Cog. He was born in the middle of nowhere, in rural Virginia. As a kid, he passed the time listening to music while drawing knock-off superhero comics that he paid his little sister 25¢ to ink, and throwing rocks at bats that lived in an old oak tree. Two of those interests would prove to pay off years later while in college. Prior to joining Happy Cog, he led design efforts as an Art Director at Empathy Lab for three years, providing direction and leadership on large-scale e-commerce websites and streaming video services.
