HI!

My name is Michael Grgas and I’m a creative, detail-oriented Visual Designer and UI/UX Designer with extensive experience leading design projects and crafting user-centered interfaces. I love designing seamless user experiences while balancing aesthetic excellence with usability.

I’m originally from New York, spent quite a few years living in Los Angeles, then hightailed it out of the urban jungle to the backwoods of Tennessee. I’m not half bad on a guitar and once upon a time, I played arenas opening for Ozzy Osbourne and lived to tell about it (barely).

I’m a big animal lover with two pups, Ellie Mae and J.D., and three cats, Tig, Iggy and Maxwell Smart (never a dull moment). I also love to get out on horseback for a trail ride with friends. And no, there is no vowel missing in my last name. You’ll also need to roll the “r”. Kinda like “rrrrrrrrrr”. You’ll get it eventually. I'm also a damn good designer.
