I'm Michael Harnisch.

I’ve been creating since I could hold a pencil. My cartooning career began at the age of 8 with the creation of my first comic character, Fred Fiddle Foot, and has spanned across a spectrum of visual design, from comic strips to video games to graphic design to holographic software.

I created Cool Your Jets in 2011 as a creative outlet for my love of design and music.

I am currently a Creative Director at Microsoft, collaborating on new and innovative experiences for Windows NEXT. I live in Seattle, Washington with my wife, Erin, and our son, Miles.

Happy 24 year and 1 day anniversary, Pretty Eyes. #wewerejustseventeen #youknowwhatimean

Miles loves drawing on my iPad and I am inspired by his process: an organic balance of thoughtful and visceral design. Whenever I ask him what he’s drawing, he always answers, “I won’t know until I’m finished, Dad.” #cre
