Who is this guy?

Well they call me Michael and I think of myself as a super laid back, green tea sipping, smooth beat loving Apple enthusiast who is drawn to all forms of visual media. I’ve never settled for one medium to express myself so I’ve learned many tools of the trade so that my inner creativity is unleashed in whichever way it chooses to manifest.

A typical working day for me starts with some light reading on what’s cool with HTML 5 followed by a Podcast tutorial on how to make that neat new effect in After Effects. By then the green tea is steeped and my creative drive jump started. My shiny iMac ‘Betsy’ is ready to flex her muscles on that new music track all while I’m creating some digital mayhem in Photoshop.

I love to procrastinate and shudder at my to-do list but always get my real work done on-time. I feel inferior when I look at other designers works on Envato, Dribble and Unmatched Style but that drives me to perfect my skills so that eventually others will shudder at my feet. Mwhahaha!

I’m constantly trying to challenge myself and I swear that one day I’ll finish that iOS game I’ve been working on for months and all my other personal projects.

But most of all, I just love to create cool things and help others to do the same.

Quick Facts

By the way you can turn the background music on and off by clicking the little icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. But why would you want to do that?
