i’m michael. i’ve started making art with a computer in kindergarten. as a teenager, i got a public access TV show. in 2012 i got my degree in digital media from oberlin college. since then, i’ve used my skills to build a career working with countless companies, organizations and individuals. i love sharing my passion for digital art with others.

during our time together, i’ll help you develop the skills you need to be able to achieve your digital media dreams. here are some of the topics i cover:

• video production & post-production
• motion graphics & animation
• fundamental visual design principles
• fundamental photography principles
• photo retouching and manipulation
• adobe creative suite fundamentals
• squarespace development

i’m typically available evenings from 6p-9p and most weekends from 10a-6p.

i typically work with people in person. various public places around the madison area – it’s a coffeeshop or the library. if the sun is shining we could be outside. i may be open to considering remote sessions after a few in-person lessons.

i use a sliding scale model to price my lessons.

this gives you a say as to how much you pay, and makes my offerings accessible to a broader range of people.

the lower bound is $40 and the upper bound is $60.
