"Michael is an excellent digital creative director who excels in great design and user experience. He's a good presenter – very good at articulating his point of view. He's a team player and a pleasure to work with."

Susan Hempstead | SVP, Account Management & Strategy | VIVO Agency

"Michael is one of the most pleasant team-members I have had the opportunity to join forces with in website development. Michael’s designs never failed to wow our clients, and he did an excellent job of leading our clients through how to understand and review each phase of design.

"Whether the assignment was a small update or addition to a site, or a complete redesign of a site, Michael will take everything he is working on seriously and provide the same high-quality results. He takes pride in his work, and works respectfully with brand guidelines, yet always finds ways to surprise us in design. Top-tier talent for digital design."

Meg Sheehan | Account Manager | VIVO Agency

"Michael is a very creative and dynamic individual. He is a team player and it was a pleasure to work with him."

Christie Clark | Accounting Manager | VIVO Agency

"Michael worked as our Creative Director at Dictionary.com. He has a strong art direction background coupled with really good management skills. We went through a transition to agile while we were there, which I always find is tough on the design team, and Michael did a great job bringing his team along. He also did some fantastic individual work on parts of our site that really needed a complete visual overhaul.

"I definitely recommend Michael as a strong designer, a very capable creative director and a great manager. I enjoyed working with him, and would absolutely bring him into my future teams as either an individual contributor or creative director."

Michele Turner | CEO | Dictionary.com

"I had the privilege of working with Michael for several years at Caesars in the Internet Operations department and he proved himself to be a talented Creative Director and an effective manager of a web design team that produced some amazing, profitable work. Michael also proved to be a highly efficient and organized project manager when called upon to do so; he was not hired to manage projects but ended up being incredibly skilled at it, especially for large, multi-team million dollar campaigns. His input and attention to detail on Harrahs/Caesars.com digital marketing projects was always insightful and intelligent. I also commend Michael for his professionalism and performance under sometimes extreme pressure to meet almost unbelievable deadlines. He was always willing to learn and take constructive criticism in order to make himself a better manager and worker. I would be a reference for Michael anytime, knowing he'd be a fantastic addition to any organization."

John Pestka | Director of Internet Operations | Caesars Entertainment

"Michael Coman asked if I would provide him with a professional and personal recommendation. I am asked often to provide such recommendations and decline to do so, rarely providing a requested recommendation. However, in this instance I would be honored.

"I have had decades of experience with public relations firms, graphic designers and their firms and in 30+ years have only engaged successfully with two. I have launched two very successful firms one which remains the 7th largest privately held real estate firm in the United States and the other a rare and exclusive, privately held wealth management firm. 

"In both of these firms successful branding was paramount to the success of these companies. After interviewing, online 200+ websites nationally, obtaining collateral material from 15, personally interviewing 2, I skeptically engaged with Michael and his firm, Generate. Always hesitant as few meet my standards of consistent esthetic and care, I was more than pleased with Michael’s work. Not only did Michael quickly and succinctly assess my esthetic and deliver more than anticipated, he did so in advance of his deadlines (rare experience) and below my cost expectations (equally as rare). Michael’s leadership throughout the process was what I would consider industry-leading, client focused and the work was superbly integrated into all facets of my company. 

"He is an artistically mature individual, with excellent listening and esthetic sensitivities. I might be as bold and say that the success of my latest firm can be specifically attributed to Michael and his talent."
