Hi, I'm Mike, and I'm not a designer, because that's no longer enough.
Your project needs a photographer, coder, and copywriter. They all come together to form your brand, and that's where I come in.
Details matter too, so my code is SEO friendly, my print pieces have full bleed, and it all just works without that back and forth.
"If building websites were like Star Trek
Mike would undoubtedly be the Number One to your Jean-Luc Picard...
No matter how daunting the task, he will always make it so."

To help generate fan interest, the NHRA gave away a car for the 2013 race season. Users could register at kiosks with iPads set up at each race, meaning this needed a mobile solution. I designed and coded the front-end of this iOS native HTML 5 app.

"It needs to work everywhere!" is often a popular client request concerning digital work. Citizen needed watch setting instructions that did just that, including IE 7 and mobile. I assisted with the design, and coded the front-end. I also assisted with the design of story boarding TV commericals for their new DRIVE campaign, and with the US Open Event Booth.

I was able to bring great design to the e-commerce division of Warner Brothers during my time there. I was responsible for the UI layout and design of The Hobbit Shop, product pages, email blasts, and coding. Click-through doubled from the result of new design elements I implemented.

I have a passion for cars, racing, aviation...anything with an engine. If it has an Apple logo on it, chances are I can take it apart and put it back together again, and I remain convinced that my beloved New York Giants will lose
if I miss a game.
When not slicing and dicing code, you can find me with my beautiful wife
in the hills of New Jersey.
Have an idea for a project? Just looking to
explore and see the possibilities?
I'm here to help.
