“I’ve worked with a lot of UX/UI Designers and really enjoyed the close relationship Mike had with everyone on the Product and Marketing teams at dubdub. Mike is definitely NOT one of the pretentious mine-is-the-only-right-design type of person.
He not only believes, but lives, the basic principle that a group of people will come up with a much better set of designs through open communication and collaboration than can a single person. Yes, imagine the ultimate product that we really want to build, then be very practical in reducing that into incremental designs that are able to be quickly implemented with a clear set of steps for enhancement as priorities allow and if all you need is a quick web site - your head will spin at how fast Mike can pull that off too.
Priorities change, requirements change, new information becomes available, there are technical challenges, some people are tough to work with, and time pressures can be exhausting - through it all, Mike rolls right along with a smile and a great attitude.
I hope our paths meet again someday soon!”

“Mike is one of the very very rare designers who understands what it takes to create a well crafted experience through design- whether that digital, print or apparel.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with numerous UX/UI/ creative designers in my time, and Mike is by far the best. His extensive and varied background, along with his ability to collect feedback, insights from various parties with conflicting requirements, and produce end products that are not only exactly what is needed, but was visually stunning and always have the end user in mind is unparalleled.
He is versatile, the definition of a team player, and the most positive human I’ve worked it. “ ”

“Mike is an incredibly talented designer with the rare ability to meld creativity with process. Mike can be depended on to create a vision and to bring it to completion, managing any challenges with ease and a positive outlook.”
“Mike is a supremely talented Graphic Designer whose work has resulted in thousands of units sold. His ability to take a brief and focus the work around the consumer/end user is remarkable. Furthermore, his time spent in retail, in merchandising, in product creation and design have given him a truly rounded portfolio that makes Mike unique in this realm. He is also a great teammate who evolves immediately and takes on multiple tasks to help the broader team.”
