Hi. I’m Michael.
But most people call me Dabbs.
I am a hands-on maker, creative director, designer, thinker and collaborator. I work with companies from large to small, from local to international, to create relevant and intentional brand communication. Over the span of 30 years I have worked across multiple industries, each project with its own diverse needs, always with a focus on building visual identity and brand stories that drive deeper connection and engagement with audiences, reinforcing the brands purpose. I champion simplicity and the creation of holistic systems that are designed for ease of use for creative partners, and clarity for consumers.
I am always looking for that next big collaboration, working with smart people striving to make change happen. If you’d like to learn more about my work process or have a project you are interested in discussing, please get in touch.
