Bio
Clarinda Cheon
Michael is one of those underrated gems when it comes to creative digital design. When he first joined the company we both worked at, he single-handedly rebranded the entire business, produced, filmed and edited video content for in-house marketing. It wasn't neccesarily in his job scope, but he did them anyway with extreme enthusiasm. He took it upon himself to pick up all the skills required to do those tasks and with an extremely professional attitude. I can say that without a doubt I would work with him again to execute marketing campaigns if the opportunity presents itself. Michael has taught me to be confident in the work that I do, and to never be apologetic for a difference in opinion, two lessons I still carry with me today. I consider myself very fortunate to have worked with a human such as Michael May.

Colleagues come and go. If you're lucky they become friends. And if you're truly blessed they go on to become defining forces in your career. Working with Michael at Search It Local helped shape me as a creator and copywriter in every way. He is beyond creative, and unlike many who hoard this unique talent, he gives it away openly in the form of support, guidance and mentorship. NSW's loss is Perth's infinite gain.

Classic freelance stuff. Branding, motion graphics and creative copywriting, you name it I'll do it. All the while I balanced the books and make sure the coffee pot doesn't run empty.
