ABOUT US:

We are Mike and Katie, an inseparable pint-sized design duo, better known to the world as TADO. 

We illustrate, animate and make pretty much anything! Our worlds collided in 2002, and ever since, everything we’ve done has been in total collaboration – drawing, painting, drilling, glueing, scribbling and clicking away - creating Mayhem, Mischief and Magic. 

We love to produce playful Character Designs and Immersive Worlds, which have delighted all kinds of clients across the globe. Our commercial work and characters have been featured in Advertising Campaigns, Mascot-Designs, Fashion Collabs, Toys & Sculptures and everything in between. Our artwork has been exhibited internationally with numerous solo shows and large scale interactive installations in galleries, stores and public spaces. 

We live in Sheffield, UK, with our illustrator/BMX-mad daughter, in a house full of toys, bikes and cool junk we’ve collected along the way. We also adore micro-cars, crisps, model-kits and pandas. 

We’re always excited to chat about new projects and commissions - got something in mind?
