Michael is one of the most talented designers that I've worked with. While his creative talent and design aesthetic are impressive, that's only part of why he is so impressive. He brings to every project a business sense and high level strategic thinking that yields results that go far beyond great design. Michael brings to every project a great attitude, strong work ethic, and an integrity that makes me look forward to every chance to work together. I'd recommend Michael to anyone looking for smart, strategic, and strikingly beautiful design work.
