About Greg Mulvey

Much like Peter Parker, Greg started wielding his superpowers as a teenager, launching Presto Productions before attending Columbia College Chicago for Television & Multi-Media Production. In addition to his work as a creative director and photographer, Greg spent six years as the Lead Editor & Motion Graphics Designer for The Second City — the world’s foremost comedy theater and launching pad for the biggest comedy stars on the planet.

He’s also directed webcasts for RollingStone.com and artists like Aerosmith and Christina Aguilera. He’ll save you the trouble of Googling and just leave his LinkedIn profile right here.

Want to discuss the philosophy behind dynamic storytelling, or nerd out over rumored new iPhone features? Greg is the guy.

Rave reviews

In our business, image is everything. No one has captured my style better than Presto Productions.
Steve Chezaday Magician
It takes real knowledge of the art and the marketing of magic to design a website which meets the specific needs of magicians. Presto Productions has that expertise, and I recommend them most highly.
Mark Wilson Legendary television magician
You listened to my ideas, my concerns, and you offered me valuable advice from your experience. And you did it all for a very fair, reasonable fee.
