Michael is a specialist creative consultant with a wealth of experience in food and beverage, retail, and hospitality.

He is a highly creative, client-facing designer, leading his teams on often complex operational and creative briefs. Working to find synergy between the food concept / service model and the design experience,  he has been finding the balance between the spatial concept, operations and the front of house customer experience over the past twenty-five years.

Where Michael excels is in the understanding of what the end user really needs from a powerful environmental experience. By calculating the right customer journey for each user group, Michael can deliver environmental experiences that meet their needs whilst weaving in superior operational solutions.
