Michael Knodt

Not only am I a creative and passionate designer, but I am also a seasoned production designer with many years of graphic design experience. I strive to create relevant, inventive and concise visual design solutions efficiently. I seek out the intersection of creativity and problem solving. I have worked in a wide range of industries including: beverage, education, eLearning, fashion, food, non-profit, real-estate to technology.

My design experience originates largely from the print side, but has kept pace with the advent of new technology. I have designed annual reports, collateral materials, icons, illustrations, infographics, brochures, packaging, job aids, videos and animations—many within brand guidelines. I can take a brand and apply it across the board to any touchpoint that is needed. I have a deep attention to detail throughout the process—consistency, grammar, specifications, as well as communication with the client. I excel in a team environment. Over the years I have worked effectively with many different people from a wide range of disciplines, personalities and styles. I enjoy collaboration and am able to foster it. One of my strengths is listening to the client’s needs and anticipating next steps in a project cycle and guiding the project through the design process.

Some of the brands I have worked on: Aflac-everwell, Blackberry, CHEP, Deloitte, Dresser-Rand, Fiskars, Microsoft, Nespresso and United. I have designed multimedia content for global eLearning courses for Aflac-everwell and VMware.
