Our people make the difference.

Michael Anderson

Michael is a graphic designer who loves to work on projects that place an emphasis on equity, sustainability and the user experience. Prior to joining Alta, Michael worked largely for non-profits and arts organizations, including Portland Japanese Garden, World Forestry Center, Caldera Arts, and The Center for Urban Pedagogy – designing art exhibition graphics, wayfinding signage, custom maps, and various print materials.

Michael received his BFA in Communication Design with departmental honors from Parsons School of Design in 2014.

“I love seeing how people use design as a means to navigate the world around them. Whether it's through environmental signage or small brochures, graphic design can play a substantial role in how people interact with one another.”
