William Michael
Executive Advisor
Design creative with over 23 years experience in both commercial and residential markets, but found my true passion to be in Hospitality Design. Evolving over the years to a Senior Level Lead Hospitality Designer I developed & promoted a creative VISION to diverse groups of clients and Brands alike. My typical day involved many skill sets including networking, marketing, leadership, collaboration, production and management of the design solution as well as the specification, procurement and installation of interior architectural finish & furnishing packages that successfully REVEAL themselves in an extensive repertoire of projects that have earned favorable accolades including two NEWH Top ID awards as well as provided valuable experiences and built lasting relationships along the journey. More recently I sought change and new challenges in a career redirection within the A&D industry as an Account Executive with MDC Interior Solutions covering Pittsburgh, Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, which has proven to be equally fulfilling in different ways.
