A dynamic designer helping brands tell their story.

Nice to meet you! I’m Michael, and I empower brands, organizations, and humans through thoughtful and strategic design. I love creative problem solving and have a knack for finding solutions that are on strategy and in budget.

I've worked in marketing and brand creative since my first internship out of college in Austin before making my way to the beautiful landscapes of Oregon.

Hardworking and collaborative, "any team would be lucky to have him", says my former creative director Courtenay Hamiester. “He’s a swell guy”, says my mom.
