Mike White was born and raised in Toronto. He worked for five years in children's television animation before moving to San Francisco to make mobile games and apps. In 2018, after getting nachos for lunch, Mike met a cute little puppy at a pop-up adoption event. After much consideration he adopted the puppy and named her Melody, and her delightful and infectious personality became the inspiration for Mellybean. Mike now lives in Houston, Texas.
