Michael has been designing interactive experiences since 1992 when he convinced his parents to install a modem so he could create and code his own dial-up bulletin board system (BBS). Since then, he’s studied Human Computer Interaction and New Media at Georgia Tech and user experience (UX) with the Neilson–Norman Group.
With more than 15 years of creative and UX experience, Michael leads the interactive design and UX practice at Pace and is the creative co-lead of Pace’s New York portfolio. He’s created experiences for such clients as PepsiCo, Verizon, Wells Fargo, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Mount Sinai, Sysco, and Gerber Life Insurance. His works has garnered national awards — most recently a Platinum Individual Achievement award from AVA Digital.
Michael lives in Brooklyn, NY with his amazing wife and one-eyed cat. He’s an avid hiker and is working up the nerve to get back into ballet and modern dance.
