He has established a name and reputation for himself as a passionate artist who values the blending of art, technology, and science in a highly collaborative production environment. Mike showcases his work and experiences through his social media and other online presence, striving to be a resource for early career designers and students in the aspects of a career in the entertainment industry that aren’t usually taught in school.

Recent notable projects include Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern, which is currently on tour throughout the US and previously had a yearlong run Off-Broadway, as well as at the Sydney Opera House; Rogers: The Musical for Marvel Studios/Hawkeye; The Boy Who Loved Batman; The Hot Wing King, and countless others.
