Michael provided us with business identity and graphics design for three separate projects. He is a joy to work with: personable, talented, responsive, and dependable. He is creative and his designs denote quality, imagination, and warmth. His photography, illustrations, and designs are first rate. He is a strategic thinker, able to understand the fundamental business, and the major messages to convey.

Michael designed our entire corporate website from the overall look-and-feel, to the photography, artwork, and layout. First and foremost, he is a real artist. In addition he possesses all of the digital skills required to produce professional online and print media. He is extremely efficient and delivers the highest quality work at twice the rate our web developers are able to code the pages! On his advice and direction we expanded our presence across social media as well. He is a pleasure to work with both on a professional and personal level.

Michael consistently delighted me with interesting and effective designs for my Mac and iPhone projects. Michael initiated a project to capture the personal face of Plaxo by photographing each employee for our business profile photos. He was exceptionally patient and gracious, capturing many fun and poignant photos from our work lives over the years. Michael has the creative talent, the ethical mindset, and cooperative spirit that makes a substantive contribution to any project he works on.

Michael is the most creative, talented, and serious graphic artist I've ever had the pleasure to work with. We'd come to Michael wanting to express some fairly abstract or complex ideas for an industry talk I was going to give and he'd create something simple, elegant, and visually stunning. Not only was he able to capture the messages we had in mind, but he made them iconic. This had a major impact on our ability to get our ideas across, rise above the noise, and really inspire and influence people.

Michael is pleasant to work with. He always has so many good ideas about enhancing the user experience of Plaxo Pulse. He contributed heavily to the eCards site. I especially like the idea of featuring other artists' work as card content with a blurb linking to the artist's website. It is a double win! In short I am impressed by Michael's attention to detail and his prowess as a creative artist. He would be a great addition to any team.

As technologists developing cutting edge technology, we often get so caught up in the mechanical solutions, we forget that the reason we're doing anything is to positively impact people's lives. Michael was always the first to ground the team and make sure that we didn't overlook the humanistic aspect to our designs, our decisions and our solutions. In the end, we ended up with a far superior product thanks to Michael's insight.

I've known Michael for 15 years and am proud to be his publisher. Michael is fantastically creative and thoughtful, and is as attentive to the big picture as he is to all the details that go into the mix. As an illustrator he has a great touch and distinctive style that is modern and, when needed, slightly whimsical. He's especially adept at converting intellectual notions into graphical concepts. He brings a great intelligence and talent to his work.
