Since graduating with a BA (HONS) in Graphic Design, Michael has developed his career by working for a number of cultural centers and galleries and has undertaken freelance design work for a number of clients and agencies across the North West of England.
He has produced work for arts organisations including The Bluecoat Gallery, the Contemporary Urban Centre North West, the leading green and ethically driven design agency, UHC in Manchester along with various charities.
Michael finds inspiration in many ways, from the mundane to the extraordinary, individual and shared moments and the ability to draw from his life experiences to develop his creativity, interests and ambitions.
Passionately interested in the design process and the challenge to create responsible and dynamic work, Michael always manages to keep his audience and himself abreast of life’s communication intricacies in imaginative and inspiring ways
His most significant project to date was working for The Bluecoat Gallery to develop and deliver the design and communication for the Next Up: Liverpool Art Now exhibition, completing their Capital of Culture year’s programme, championing the talent pool across Merseyside. This was a particularly engaging brief challenged by time restrictions and balancing the need to showcase and represent 39 Artists under one clear and vibrant identity working across a number of mediums and design materials.
