Bio
Anthony Ward, CDMA
Michael created the branding architecture of Absolute New York during our rebrand. It was a pleasure working with him because he consistently produces high-quality graphics and ideas that resonated with the customer and inspired coworkers. I brought Michael in specifically to help us with our rebranding. He delivered on creating a brand guide which included fonts, wordmark, logo, brand colors, and overall tone of the brand. He is easily the most creative and passionate person when it comes to creativity, work quality, and art. Not many possess these three key traits when it comes to branding or designing. He delivered on several product photoshoots, which exceeded expectations for digital ads and email marketing. As well as being the head photographer for photoshoots with models. Michael was able to direct, execute, and create a visual story with his design and photography!
