Michael’s lifelong passion for creating began in second grade, when he bought a How to Draw Pokémon book at the Scholastic book fair. He painstakingly traced each character using parchment paper, and from there, continued to fuel his passion by creating fanart of his favorite shows and books, to now using his creativity in a professional setting.

Michael is an interdisciplinary artist and designer from Medford, MA. He graduated summa cum laude from Tufts University with a B.S. in Human Factors Engineering, and minors in Studio Art and Entrepreneurship. Before joining Impact, he focused on UX design, using his creativity and problem-solving skills to design digital experiences that solve real user problems. His work spans 2D animation, illustration, magazine design, social media posts, and custom sports jerseys and apparel. Above all, Michael is driven by a passion for using design to empower and inspire others.

In his free time, Michael can be found playing a wicked riff on his ukulele, competing at the highest levels of Spikeball, drawing heads in ¾ view, or giving his dogs plenty of belly rubs.
