Tems
CREATIVE DIRECTION & FILM DIRECTION ©2025
Mike collaborated with Tems on the creative direction for her debut album cover photography and design, as well as announcement visuals. Shot in Lagos, Nigeria & Los Angeles, CA, respectively. The creative direction leans into contrast...organic vs. constructed, soft vs. defiant; to reflect the duality in her sound and spirit. The album's lead single won the Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance and was nominated for Best Afrobeats Video at the VMAs.
