Micheal is a rare talent as well as being a hell of a nice guy too. I've enjoyed working together on many successful design and advertising projects. He is always thoroughly professional but also brings a unique perspective that sets him apart. Highly recommend collaborating with him.

Micheal designs with purpose. Nothing is wasted and everything plays a role to bring his visual elements to life. He’s collaborative - in the sense that he can follow a brief very tightly, but never afraid to suggest extra ideas or new and interesting ways of doing things, which I really enjoy.

A thoughtful and very clever designer - we were so impressed with the elegance and creativity of Micheal's work. And such a nice guy.

Micheal delivered exactly what we needed—and more. He took our brief, elevated it, and made the process smooth and enjoyable. The final design had a real impact and perfectly captured our restaurant’s identity. Highly recommend.

Mike was a pleasure to deal with. He understood the brief perfectly and provided a range of options. The hardest part was choosing one. Mike communicated regularly and conducted himself with a high level of professionalism. I would like to engage with Mike for graphic design work in the future. Thanks again.

Good business, lovely design, great man.

Mike is super talented and a pleasure to deal with. He took my brief (which was lacking) and made suggestions that were on point straight away. I highly recommend working with him.
