-How did you find Keep?
-Keep found me! Our teammate Piotr Dyraga — whom I had worked with a couple years back — came to me with a bottle of Scotch and an offer that I couldn’t refuse. He told me that Keep is the best project because we will have the possibility to work together with a great team on the blockchain revolution. I knew then that this was an opportunity to build something awesome. So the next day I decided to change my life and work with you guys.

The Keep’s Head of Design: Michael Gluzman
I led design for a handful of brands at The Coca-Cola Company for about six years. Incidentally, Coca-Cola was once a little start up back in the day, founded right here in Atlanta. I was mostly known for working on Sprite, and in addition, I worked on Fanta, Mello Yello, Seagram’s, Fresca, Barq’s, and of course a bit on Coke Trademark. I learned so much about the worlds of advertising, packaging, brand design, and the beverage industry. Coca-Cola is a magnet for the best of the best agencies, photographers, and artists—it was so inspiring to have been able to collaborate with such a high caliber of talent and experience. It was my version of grad school.
