Michael started Byte Studios in Milwaukee in 1998 to do what he loved the most: design and programming. In 15 years, he's led Byte to work with brands including Sephora, Givaudan and Diagio/Jose Cuervo.

While at Byte, Michael opened The National, an award-winning, local, sustainable and organic restaurant two doors down from the Studios. He subsequently sold it for $100 to one of Milwaukee's most promising chefs. It made the news. In Canada. And the UK.

As a member of Byte's team, Jen is always learning new skills, and challenging herself while strengthening her talents. You can think of her as a hybrid, having an eye for design and detail, as well as having a mind full of solutions to developer obstacles.

Outside of Byte you can find Jen concocting and perfecting beer recipes that she home-brews, observing beer fermentation, running, biking, traveling and hanging out with her cats.

They independently composed, recorded, and released a full length album, booked shows, and designed all of their own merchandise.

Mokey's background in interactive media meows for itself, she's been involved as both account executive and human resources at Byte for as many years as she has paws.

Mokey's strengths include a discerning taste in both design and tuna. She's great at communicating her taste decisions in a way that both clients and staff understand, and if a design isn't up to her level of quality, she'll let you know her disapproval by burying it with the things on your desk.
