Mike Nied Headshot

Hi, I’m Mike…

a well-rounded creator with a decade of writing experience specializing in entertainment, beauty and makeup, music, celebrity culture, design and more.

Since opening a personal blog over a decade ago, I’ve fallen in love with using my voice to inform readers about what’s going on in the world, whether that be what they missed on the latest episode of House of the Dragon or the best eyeshadow palette to buy depending on their budget, skill level and aesthetic. If you’re asking me, there’s a very good chance that I’ll recommend something from an indie brand because they bring color, pigment and shimmer, which perfectly reflects on my personality!

Over the years, I’ve worked for a variety of publications and am a master at maximizing SEO, matching tone, working on tight deadlines, juggling various projects and so much more.

Let’s work together!
