Bridging Creativity, Technology, and Production -
Seamlessly.
I’m Mike Griggs, founder of CreativeBloke—a consultancy built on decades of hands-on experience in content creation, workflow design, and emerging creative technology.
I’ve worked internationally in motion graphics, VFX, museum and exhibition design, advertising, and digital content production, leading creative teams and bridging the gap between clients, artists, and technical specialists.
I help businesses, studios, and creatives scale efficiently, refine production processes, and integrate cutting-edge tools—from AI to automation—without adding complexity. These aren’t just theories; I’ve tested and implemented them in real-world pipelines, ensuring teams can focus on creativity, not friction.
How can creativebloke Help You?
Pioneering the Future of Creativity with AI & Innovation
Creativity and technology are evolving faster than ever. I work at the intersection of art, AI, and production, creating innovative workflows and pushing the boundaries of digital content creation. My expertise spans motion graphics, VFX, AI integration, and scalable production, ensuring that creative teams don’t just keep up—but stay ahead.
AI & Creativity: Beyond Automation, Toward Humanity
AI is transforming how we create—but real creativity isn’t about automation, it’s about amplification. I explore how AI can elevate human creativity rather than replace it, integrating cutting-edge tools into workflows in ways that feel natural, empowering, and genuinely innovative. My approach is hands-on, constantly testing new ways to enhance visual storytelling, production speed, and creative iteration.
A Creator at Heart, A Leader by Experience
Beyond strategy, I’m an active creator. My work and insights have been featured in leading creative publications like ImagineFX and 3D World, where I break down complex concepts into actionable, inspiring ideas for professionals, students, and hobbyists alike. I understand creative teams because I lead from within them—not just as a consultant, but as someone who builds, experiments, and delivers.
Scalable Creative Systems for Teams & Studios
From individual artists to global brands, I create strategies that make creative production more intuitive, adaptable, and future-proof. My experience spans high-end digital content, AI-enhanced workflows, and emerging creative technologies, ensuring that teams can scale without losing agility or artistic integrity.
Workshops, Speaking & Thought Leadership
I don’t just follow creative trends—I help shape the conversation. Through workshops, talks, and training, I empower creators and businesses to embrace AI, streamline production, and rethink what’s possible in digital content creation.
