A visual designer specializing in web and corporate identity design,
interface design for the web and blogging for business. Mike enjoys
sketching, writing, reading, cycling, music, travel and loves a good strong
cappuccino while sketching at a bustling sidewalk café.
Mike's interest in coffee extends back to college, when it was doused in
powdered creamer and refined sugar, but has been refined through several
trips to Europe and the discovery of good crema-topped espresso.
Mike lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with his wife and young son. Milwaukee is the home of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Summerfest and some excellent coffee houses.
Mike works as the art director for MakaluMedia, Inc., runs his personal
blog, Rohdesign and the site PlannerHack, which documents how Mike
converted a Moleskine notebook into a custom planning tool.
