about this site

noteworthy items

Hi. My name is Michael, and this is my website. I am an Art Director + Designer with over 5 years of experience. Currently, I work full time at ID Society as Senior Art Director, while also taking on a limited amount of freelace out of my studio in Matawan NJ.

In my spare time, I can be usually be found at the beach or roaming around the NYC Metropolitan area.

Most of the projects featured here are 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

   

10.29.2008 | New Work: Dispassion. More to come.

07.29.2008 | The Qualcomm Wireless Life Project I worked on with Digitaria earlier this year won an FWA this past weekend. I designed and animated all of the phone interfaces throughout all of the videos.

06.11.2008 | Recently joined the team at ID Society As Senior Art Director. Keep a look out for new projects, as we have quite a few cool things going on at the moment.

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!
