Michael Crossett is a mixed media artist and designer living in Washington, DC. He received a BS in Advertising and Marketing at George Mason University in 1997, and from 2007 to 2010 he studied at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC, focusing on printmaking, bookmaking and graphic design.

He worked most recently as the Creative Director for Jones Lang Lasalle (JLL) in Washington, DC. There, he led a team of designers to develop brands for large commercial real estate developments in the Mid-Atlantic. He also worked in marketing and design for Clements International, an international insurance company. His many roles in marketing and design have developed a unique perspective that Michael brings to all of his projects.

His experience living and traveling abroad has created a life-long fascination with urban life, different cultures and contemporary design. Michael creates vibrant, layered compositions using digital photography and screen printing. He is now beginning to experiment with 3D elements incorporating laser cut objects, concrete and metal into his work. The son of a military family, Michael spent his childhood in Japan, Hawaii and a host of US cities. He settled 20 years ago in Washington DC, where he lives and works today.
