“I’m Michael—a designer, illustrator, video editor, and audio producer with a decade of experience turning concepts into reality. Whether working in corporate settings or freelance collaborations, I thrive in spaces that value experimentation, but I never lose sight of logistics (thanks to my deep background in print production). Every pixel, frame, or soundwave I touch is shaped by a simple mantra: creativity needs both vision and viability.
When I’m not designing, I’m producing rap music with my independent collective, Common and Normal, where I coordinate events and artist projects. My love for storytelling started with film studies in college, but these days, my favorite productions are the chaotic, joyful ones starring my two sons. Based in Ferndale, Michigan, I’m always down to collaborate on boundary-pushing work—or debate the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.”
