Colleagues describe him as "Michael is an incredibly intelligent and astute person, and it carries over so well into his design work; he's easily able to articulate clear visions of his designs and cares deeply about the player experience from top to bottom so that no detail escapes his notice. What I appreciated most about working with Michael is that he got up to speed on many projects with many moving parts quickly and was able to dive in with impactful recommendations and contributions right off the bat. He would provide thorough breakdowns and documentation for all of his work but also made sure everything was easily parsed and understood by others. I'll miss having the opportunity to just chat in general about game systems with him, as he's always able to so quickly grasp and break down components of detailed systems when I can occasionally feel a bit overwhelmed by the complexity. I can't emphasize enough just how much of an amazing designer he is, and how much of an asset he was to our team when we worked together. " and "I had the pleasure of working with Mike for years and he is one of the most creative designers I’ve worked with. He likes to think outside the box while working within the scope of the project. He always discusses with other disciplines to learn what we can and cannot do before presenting his ideas. He communicates his ideas well and provides all the information that we need to implement them. He’s very passionate and committed. He always thinks about putting the player experience first and listens to suggestions on the best way to do it. He’s a great addition to any team. "
