Michael Cina is a multidisciplinary designer and artist based in the Twin Cities working across branding, visual communication, custom-type design, and contemporary art.
Cina Associates, the studio he founded in 2010, is the center of this practice, where experimentation and discipline converge in a visual language shaped by fine art, typography, branding, and design.
Over the past two decades, Cina has shaped identities for global clients, created hundreds of album covers with Ghostly International, and developed original typefaces through his foundry, Public Type. His design work has been nominated for a Grammy and won an Emmy. Cina’s art practice explores internal worlds, texture, perception, and the quiet narratives that emerge through process. Across all mediums, he is driven by curiosity and a commitment to making work that holds meaning over time.
