Michael is the design director for Scientific American and responsible for ScientificAmerican.com, and its newsstand specials.

He and his team established the visual language for the brand and produced its award-winning graphic design, illustrations, information graphics, and photography.

Not always a science journalist, he has designed for magazines as disparate as Esquire and Architectural Record, but his love of science led him to work for Discover magazine and produce award-winning designs for there as well.

Always curious, he works on and builds cars, is an artist and practices fencing in his off time.
