I'm passionate about design and believe you should surround yourself with things that inspire you.

Hi, I'm Michael. I created Transit Design while curled up in bed on a cold January night in 2010. I live in a lovely lakeside town in Northern Michigan and am a freelance graphic designer. I love typography anything with a retro or vintage flair.

I first launched Transit Design on Etsy, making custom subway signs and vintage-style travel posters. It was the height of the Great Recession and thanks to wonderful folks like you, my sales helped save my home from going into foreclosure.

Since then, I continue to design and create new pieces. My custom wall art remains the most popular, with personalized touches unique to you. I enjoy making artwork that tells a story; whether it’s your European travel adventures, a family wedding, or visits to the lake house. When displayed on your walls, these pieces can evoke wonderful memories.

Please let me know if you're looking for something special. I’ll work with you to craft a piece just for you!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you find something you love.

Please be sure to take a look at my graphic design portfolio too.
