Helping Climate-Focused
Companies Grow
I bring a mix of B2B & B2C sales, partnership development, and creative design to teams fighting climate change. My job is to secure the funding, build the relationships, and handle the execution so your company can scale its impact.
Love for Nature and
Drive to do Good Deeds
I have always been passionate about nature. My photography has been my catalyst for expressing that love and admiration. For a long time I thought I was supposed to use my photography to speak the message of preserving our planet. Through this process, I realized I could impact more people with storytelling, being a leader, and going beyond just taking photos.

My Why
I want to have a social impact on the world. I want to lead a team of people that will help contribute to preserving this world; and most importantly, one day, I hope to inspire my children and that they will look up to me as someone not afraid of big challenges.

The Patience to Build Myself
One of the biggest challenges in life for most people is performing at their very best. How would you define it? For me, right now, it's about the process of becoming. I am the best that I can be at this moment.
I'm building the skills necessary to become influential and leadership material. These are my natural strengths that I embrace and polish every day.

Voices of Impact
“Michael was one of the most engaged students I've had in the Bachelor of Creative Industries program. In my innovation and entrepreneurship class, he consistently asked sharp, practical questions that helped create a better learning environment for all of us. What sets Michael apart is his focus on application. His team's business pitch to a panel of industry experts was amazing. Instead of just learning the theory, he worked on building something real. Michael is down to earth, hard-working and has a genuine ability to lead and gets things done. He would be a huge asset to any organization and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!”

“Michael seems to genuinely care about his classmates' success. He give tons of feedback to others and offers advice (and photography service!) that is actually useful. He's also a sponge for knowledge, whether it's through books, podcasts, events, etc. Also: He's super punctual. People notice that stuff.”
