about this site		noteworthy items
Hi. My name is Michael, and this is my website. I am a freelance Art Director + Designer with over 5 years of experience. I work out of my studio in Matawan NJ, and can be found roaming throughout the NYC Metropolitan area. Most of the work featured here is interactive, motion and web design, although you'll find some print and illustration as well. I hope you enjoy the work, keep checking back for new projects that will be posted irregularly. Drop me a line if you like what you see. Thanks, Mike		03.27.2008 \| Finally got around to updating this site after a 3 month absence. Tons of new projects added. Feel free to drop me a line if you are interested in learning the details on any of them, I didn't feel like writing out descriptions. Happy scrolling! 01.07.2008 \| It's a new year, so I'm starting off with a fresh news feed. Firstborn by Firstborn is available for your reading pleasure at the Fwa. I contributed a short write up, and continue to serve as whipping boy because of my unfortunate location on the west side of the hudson river. Fun times!
