Bio
Jonathan Mann
I had the great pleasure of working with Michael at Ocean Journey. I could not have done my job without Michael's creative eye and attention to detail. In the development of the educational program's at Ocean Journey we were responsible for the training of over 1,000 volunteers, the graphics for all the aquarium's installations and the field guide given to every visitor. Michael worked side by side with our department to create amazingly attractive and effective messaging for our volunteers and visitors. We had a distinctive look and feel that was both aesthetically pleasing and educational. Michael was a essential team member in this work. In addition to his creative touch, Michael is a pleasure to work with. He is fun, smart and brings collaborative attitude that is infectious.
