ABOUT THE GUEST
Mike Harris believes he is where all roads were destined to lead. What was a balancing act maintaining his academic and art scholarships at the University of Utah with a college job throwing bags for Delta Airlines developed in dual passions for design and travel.
After ten years of branding, illustration, motion graphics, UX/UI design, and creative direction at various Salt Lake agencies, these delights finally married in his role as Head of Design at Dónde, a travel fintech startup based in Utah.
