Hello, I'm Michael!

ART DIRECTOR. DIGITAL PRODUCT DESIGNER. CLIMBER. CYCLIST. GAMER. DOG LOVER

Being a digital product designer is all about creating a great experience, the need to pay attention to people is more important than ever. Learning the behaviour of why people do what they do fascinates me. Working with corporate clients to small start-ups, it taught me how to build and maintain brand coherency bringing long lasting value to clients.

I'm also an avid sport climber. One important lesson I've learned is when I fall, get up, assess what I did wrong, fix it, and tackle it again. This has helped me push through obstacles time and time again. Oh, and I have a dog named Kasha, she taught me how to communicate without words.
