About

About

I’m Michael Sistek, an Emmy-nominated motion designer and photographer based in Bangkok. I work under the name MIKKAS.

I help clients with concepts, creative direction, 3D and motion for their brands and products.

I’ve worked with Imaginary Forces and BGSTR on title sequences and broadcast work for HBO and Showtime.

I also shoot travel and landscape photography.
