Ben Hart



Deputy Director at the Utah Governor's Office of Economic Development





Michael’s ability to ensure my projects were finished under budget has been crucial. But his most impressive trait is his ability to complete all projects with a quality and appearance that is unmatched.



Brian Hunter



Director of Marketing at
Kinect Solar & SunLogix





Mike is the ultimate Swiss Army knife of digital design. He has more than eight years of experience building interface designs, coding frontend web development, creating motion graphics, and managing print production. His superpower is a relentless drive to keep solutions simple, both in form and function. As a result, Mike has created digital designs for my team that are simple to use and easy to maintain.



Jacob Reese



Sales and Operations Manager at Standard Plumbing Supply





I worked with Mike for 3 years at Standard Plumbing Supply. He started working at a Standard during a period of large growth. Mike took initiative, problem solved, and needed little guidance and direction. Mike was known for taking on large projects and rolling up his sleeves. He oversaw two employees while playing an integral part in re-designing our website, iPhone applications, and all digital communications at Standard. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a creative worker in the graphic design industry.



David DeRurange



Marketing Communications Specialist at Intermountain Healthcare





I’ve had the opportunity to work with Mike on numerous projects, and would say that it has always been a pleasure working with him. He is reliable, very creative and has a great sense of humor. We’ve launched many high end products as a result of his ability and tireless work ethic. I am happy to recommend him for any position within the Digital Media industry.



Jeff Wiseman



Manager at Endwave Video Studio





Mike was one of our first employees and demonstrated exceptional work ethic and competency in everything he did. Mike was able to create a number of highly professional videos for us during his tenure, which will remain a part of our permanent catalog.



Rodayne Esmay



Professor, Department of Digital Media UVU





Michael is willings to accept a challenge and will work persistently until a satisfactory solution is accomplished. Within our Digital Media program students are put in teams which allows them to build projects of significance. Michael worked on several projects, most notably assuming a leadership role during the production of a student film, Relic, and was not satisfied until his work and the work of those he supervised met a certain quality.



Marty Clayton



Assistant Professor UVU





As an Assistant Professor at Utah Valley University, it has been my pleasure to have Mike as a student in my junior and senior studio classes. Mike has a good balance confidence and humility, so he takes critique very well. Additionally, he has a family and cares for them a great deal. I have a great respect for students that balance family and work well and he is able to do this as a student within our rigorous program.



Anthony Romrell



Associate Professor of Animation UVU





Michael is one of our students that work endlessly on our projects. He understands principles of animation, he demonstrates the ability to create well drafted performance animation, and is an excellent problem solver.
