Mike Alfaro is a writer, creative director, and pop-culture fanboy. Born and raised in Guatemala, he moved to California after turning 18 in search of the American dream. How cliche. Since then, he's created several successful ad campaigns for major U.S. brands and also launched the viral Instagram account @millennialloteria. He is happily married and currently developing a movie based on his experiences as a Hispanic millennial immigrant. Gerardo Guillen is a creative director with a background in art direction and advertising, who has created stories, experiences, and products for national brands. He accidentally became an illustrator in 2018 while helping launch Millennial Loteria. Now, he doodles full-time from home in Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife and two sons.
