From Michael's Linkedin Page:

I work in graphic design where I thrive on visualizing ideas – mine and others – from imagination to final completion.

Projects have centered on nonprofit causes, ranging across visual identity refreshing, branding, comic book creation/publishing, entertainment, sports memorabilia, health education, and more.

Specialties: Drawing, illustration, design, layout, logos, lettering, cartoons, sequential art, and production needs.

Team, collaboration, leadership: Articulation and development of design concepts, creative process, collaboration, production issues, and project management

My signature pieces rely on research, synthesis of elements, and abundant versatility of ways to depict ideas. The aim is clarity of message and impact that connects and instills memorability. Humor and the life force, human, animals, and the environment often find a prominent place in my work.
