About

Michael was most recently a Director of Product Experience Design for an ecommerce platform at Mastercard. He previously worked as a Design Director at an agency that delivered solutions for military and commercial businesses. His passion for understanding the link between human behavior and the way it influences the tools we use, and vice versa, is at the core of his design philosophy. He graduated from the University of Missouri - Saint Louis with a BFA in Graphic Design in 2009.

During his career in design he has had to learn and adapt to vastly different industries, such as finance/ecommerce, pharmaceutical operations, satellite communications, geolocation services/situational awareness, letterpress printing and design, and more.
