Mike Yra
Digital Content Coordinator
Yo! I'm Michael or Mike, a Bay-area native with a big passion for Art and Tech. My background is in graphic design and I've been illustrating for as long as I can remember. The pandemic's silver lining blessed me with enough free-time to train more as a digital artist during quarantine. Prior to lockdown I worked in the fashion industry as an illustrator and innovation developer.
These days I'm back to freelancing and am currently working on preparations to take on commissions for digital art. I do very casual content creation through multiple social media platforms. So from time to time, I share my art and creative process through livestreaming on Twitch. I’d be categorized as a ‘variety streamer’ considering I also do gaming and music on the channel.
I am thrilled to see how much more normalized the conversation around mental health has become and I'm excited to see where it will go in the future. I'm glad to be of assistance to this team because of its mission and passion to serve their community. My growth in close proximity to grassroots activism has always fueled me to give back when I can. Nice to meet you all!
