Michael is a brilliant product and UI/UX designer with the ability to create user-friendly solutions for complex challenges. At Vook, his creative vision and leadership skills guided the product team towards a clear goal and helped to facilitate the design process. I highly recommend Michael because of the talent, passion, and dedication that he brings to the projects he works on.

He treats everyone with respect, especially consultants, which is a rare quality. I highly recommend Michael across the board.

Michael is an experienced marketing professional who possesses quality character traits. I relied on him and his team to develop marketing collateral including core competency presentations, case studies, and other valuable selling tools. Although pulled in many directions at Voltari, he was always responsive to my needs. I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with Michael in the future and recommend him for any senior marketing roles.

I learned a lot working with Michael. I was continuously impressed with his depth of knowledge about design and development. He cares very much about the final product's quality, and my work got better as a result of his management.

I watched Michael come up with unique solutions in an area where there was hardly any documentation. He is certainly a pioneer of sorts in eBook creation.

He's designed a tool that is both easy to use and incredibly useful. I'll always remember Michael as someone who powers through obstacles to churn out an excellent product.

Michael - Is a strong creative force, consistently able to balance heavy workloads with a high-level of personal attention to crucial details. Nothing escapes his comprehensive understanding of process. He can take a big picture strategic objective and walk through and execute the complicated individual pieces -- long range thought and daily execution in one -- a crucial advantage, particularly in a start-up environment. He's also very well versed in the history of design and aesthetics, which means he brings a craftsman's eye to his work.

Working with Michael was wonderful for two reasons. First he always demonstrated a deep care for the users and the product. This kept us engineers happy as we were building something that was well thought out. Second, he listened and responded/acted as a team player. We were all very confident of the product we put out because of this wonderful collaboration.
