TESTIMONIALS

TALES FROM THE TRAIL

  • Justine Easley
    I not only had the opportunity to work closely with Michael on the same team designing collateral for Microsoft Bing Ads, but was also able to work with Michael on freelance work for a small PNW museum. Michael was dedicated and thorough. He listened to the needs of the company in revitalizing our look and feel and helped us create the most up to date and polished marketing materials the organization has had to date, all while keeping to the organizations small budget. Michael is a pro whether you are lucky enough to work with him daily or employ his services on a contract basis.

    I had the extreme pleasure of working with Michael on Microsoft projects for 5 years. He independently handled the design of hundreds of compelling deliverables, working directly with writers and clients. In every instance where we would showcase our standout work for the quarter, Michael's designs were prominent, and served as templates for many more pieces. His expertise on emails, UX and data visualizations is unmatched. His communication skills are excellent - conveying realistic timelines, presenting compelling ideas, managing revisions efficiently. To take an established business and inject a wow factor, while staying true to the brand, is a challenging feat Michael accomplished again and again. Of the dozens of designers I've worked with over the past 20 years, there is no one I would recommend more highly.

    Working with Michael has been an absolute pleasure. He is always on top of deadlines, consistently pushing work through way ahead of schedule. He's often required to work on a dozen projects at once and I remain envious of his ability to handle so much and make it look easy! If it weren't enough that he were an efficient, reliable, and resourceful co-worker, his work is exemplary! Stunning, even. He has an incredible eye for detail but never gets lost in the minutiae. His designs have repeatedly impressed me and so many others. He upheld PSE's brand standards at all times, ensuring integrity and adherence but always pushing the creative envelope, exploring the brand's boundaries. He truly did PSE proud!

    Mike is a good designer and collaborator. He is a design chameleon in the sense he has a unique style in which he can easily adjust to the client’s needs. He regularly meets or succeeds deadlines, making him a valuable assets in a fast pace environment. His Photoshop skills are phenomenal and I would trust him in adjusting, manipulating, or layering multiple photographs into one cohesive scene. Expect nothing less than high quality work from Mike. His skills, combined with an excellent attitude makes him a great addition to any creative team.
