They call me Michael

Before founding Live Free & Design Co., Michael Sanders offered his design services through Glorious Graphics, which focused primarily on T-shirt design and band merchandise. Michael has been a sought after designer in the Washington, D.C. market for over a decade, working with non-profit organizations, national associations, private companies, and small businesses to create vibrant and strikingly designed collateral. His work has helped his clients achieve their communications goals, while also leaving his mark in the field.

Live Free & Design Co. is an opportunity for Michael to hone in on his passions and return to his roots, all while breaking barriers and shunning the creative limits.

Michael lives in Alexandria with his wife and children.  When he isn’t busy designing, or hanging out with his family, he can be found enjoying movies and reviewing them on his podcast, Silver Screen Cynics. He also likes the finer things in life, such as brewing beer, playing guitar and videos games.
