Way back in 2016, when masks were for Halloween, social distancing was what you did when you wanted to stay home on a Friday night and watch Netflix, and Lions (not Tigers) were King, Mike created Funatic. Barely a year later, Mike called his lifelong friend Tanya and asked her to come aboard as Creative Director. (Here’s a picture of them from high school.)

Now, these old friends spend their days designing funny, pop-culture inspired socks and masks, backed by an amazing team making sure Funatic finds its way to independent stores across the USA, Canada and Europe.
