    Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

    Hey there, I’m Mike!

    I’ve been around the block in the digital design world for more than ten years.

    Right now, I’m doing my thing at a Foresight Sports Europe — a Golf Technology Company, focusing on Web/Wordpress and Digital Design.

    Before this gig, I did some time at iStore, an Apple Premium Reseller. I started as a store manager and then shifted gears into the marketing team, where I honed my skills in web and digital design.

    Oh, and on the side, I run my own design and branding agency called Overton Design.

    Early last year, I got into recreating some awesome Star Trek interfaces.

    That caught the eye of Dave Blass, the production designer for Star Trek Picard, and Andrew Jarvis, the lead FUI Designer of the show.

    Now, I’m regularly creating and sharing LCARS wallpapers every week, and I handle custom design work too. You can see it all on my website.

    After a few months of doing these wallpapers, Seosamah Hurley & Sean Ferrick from the CloneStar Podcast noticed my work and asked me to join in.

    It’s expanded into a full rebrand, and now I handle all the graphics, video production, and even host the podcast!

    It’s a total dream gig for me.

    My desk setup has been evolving for about five years now.

    It all started with a basic IKEA LINNMON desk shoved into the corner of my tiny studio flat, paired with a MacBook Pro and headphones.

    But things have come a long way since then.
