"[Michael's] presentation on 'Design Thinking' was well received as those who attended indicated that they learned a lot. [His] engagement with the overall group as well as breakout groups was also valuable." - Dr. Paulette Kerr, Campus Librarian, UWI Mona Library, Jamaica
"Michael skillfully and smoothly guided a team of Faculty of Social Sciences UWI Mona Campus employees through the design process, and helped us to connect the process to solving real and relevant pain points. We had fun too! His approach to the workshop was on point, with an excellent balance between knowledge and practice. In two days, the group not only learned the process, but prepared and tested prototypes; we were very productive with his expert guidance. Thank you Michael, for demonstrating so well how the design process and an innovative mindset can unleash opportunities and ideas! " - Dr. Marina Ramkissoon, Associate Dean - Strategic Planning & Institutional Research | Senior Lecturer, UWI Mona, Faculty of Social Sciences, Jamaica
