“Let’s do this.” Part motto, part mantra, this triumphant phrase comes out of Michael’s mouth several times a day as he’s constructing a web hosting and database system, engineering a custom light-sensitive shutter trigger for his camera, coding a website, or navigating a trail map with his family. If it’s involved and intricate, Michael will know the best way to get it done. This proficient developer has a rare talent for design and a following of protégés – he’s also a professor of web and digital imaging at Lyndon State College.
Clients in his roster include Anichini, AIGA, Autumn Harp, Champlain College, National Science Foundation, Sony Entertainment and the Woodstock Inn, to name a few. He enjoys using information design to communicate and bring understanding to complex ideas. And when he wants to give his brain a rest you’ll find in hiking the Greens with his growing family.
Michael graduated with Highest Honors, BFA Graphic Design, Rochester Institute of Technology.
