Who is Mike Short?

Mike Short is a Designer.

He is a man who is constantly analyzing the design, style and function of everything he comes into contact with. His interest and attention to design in the world around him keeps his ideas fresh and varied, but can also earn him a bit of good natured ridicule from friends:

“Excuse me miss? My friend Mike has found a font problem on your menu.”

Mike's ability to problem solve and generate a creative solution are showcased in brainstorming and group projects. His ability to take an idea further is what sets him apart.

Conversations with Mike often begin:

“Have you ever wondered...”

“OK, this may sound strange at first...”

“Bear with me here...”

“I think I've got it...”
