Hi there. I’m Michael, a Creative Director who brings brand visions to life for mission-driven organizations.
Big agency thinking, without the
BIG AGENCY.
You bring the vision. I bring 25 years of branding, advertising, web, and communications experience, and an eye for the details that make it feel finished. From Amtrak to small businesses and nonprofits, I turn what’s in your head into work you’re proud to put your name on.
Selected Works
Brand systems, campaigns, publications, and digital experiences for public agencies and mission-driven organizations.
What I Do.
Public agencies and mission-driven organizations need sophisticated creative work, but rarely have the capacity to manage a team of specialists. I solve that problem by delivering strategy, design, and production from one experienced partner who understands how the public sector works.
01
Complete Solutions
I deliver end-to-end creative services, from brand strategy and identity to web infrastructure and campaign execution. One experienced partner replaces the designers, developers, strategists, and production teams you’d otherwise have to coordinate.
02
Brand Strategy +
Systems
I build brand systems that go beyond a logo: full guidelines, scalable frameworks, and templates that stay consistent across locations, departments, and platforms. They’re designed so the people using them every day, designer or not, can do it with confidence.
03
Public Sector Savvy
Fourteen years inside city government taught me how decisions really get made. I’m comfortable with boards, committees, funders, and long stakeholder lists, and with accessibility requirements, and I keep the work sharp as it moves through all of them.
04
Publications + Campaigns
From annual reports and magazines to marketing campaigns and fundraising materials, I create visual communications that speak to different audiences and drive action.
05
Web + Digital Infrastructure
From AWS hosting and WordPress to final design and digital asset systems, I build websites your team can actually maintain. I also create social media content frameworks and Canva templates, so your day-to-day posting looks like you.
06
Print Production Excellence
I know print inside and out, so your project stays on quality and on budget: file prep, vendor selection and management, color accuracy, materials, and finishing. I handle the whole workflow from concept to delivery.
