hi, i'm michael!

In order to get to know me, let me take you on my life's journey through graphic design...

My journey begins in high school, on an app called Pic Collage. I loved making these dumb collages, and made a bunch for myself and my friends.

I learned about a digital art class I could take and decided to get serious with this silly hobby. This is where I got my first experience with Photoshop and Illustrator. I got to create things that were sent out/hung up around the school, as well as make some silly things to just practice in each program.

It was during this class that I decided that I wanted to study graphic in college, so that's exactly what I did at Lander University. During my time there, I really honed my skills and discovered my love for branding and packaging.

I knew that my technical skills were decent at this point, but I wanted to do more than create good looking graphics. I wanted them to be able to tell a visual story. That's when my professor showed me the Strategic Design program at Furman University, which would show me how to do exactly that.

That brings us up to speed! I've refined some projects to include in my portfolio, which you can get an in-depth look at below.
