Mike Dorner is an accomplished creative from Pretoria, South Africa. Multi-talented in art direction, photography, digital photo manipulation and more, Dorner was selected as one of the Creative Ad Open Call winners, a collaboration between Creative Circle and Artrepreneur.

Mike is a self described “music nut, wannabe cocktail connoisseur and extremely compassionate person who is driven to create artistic magic with a diverse group of people.” Brian Young talked to Dorner about combining his passions for both music and art, his love of collaboration, and his philosophy that creativity is a way of thinking, not a talent.
