Since Michael was a teen he's been obsessed with technology and tinkering, theming Windows XP machines, modding consoles & games, and jailbreaking iPhones.

He brings that same curiousity & tenacity to every design problem, whether its building an eye-catching landing page, a complex dashboard, or a brand new interaction paradigm.

Artistic and design inspirations include industrial designs from Dieter Rams and Tinker Hatfield; fashion brands A-COLD-WALL* and Issey Miyake; fine art works from Umberto Boccioni, Francis Bacon, and the Hudson River School; films directed by Hayao Miyazaki and Denis Villeneuve.
