About Me

Hello! I'm Michael Pratt, and I'm a self-proclaimed Entertainment Designer. The obvious question here is, what does that mean? I enjoy designing things that don't just function, but they make people smile, too. Be it an educational children's game, a fun graphic for a web site, or the paint job on a musical's set, I take pride knowing that the job looks good.

Education and Hobbies

I graduated cum laude from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a B.S. in Electronic Media, Arts, and Communications. During my time there, I practiced in a wide variety of art forms including 3d animation, graphic design, video, stagecraft, and sound design. A considerable amount of my focus was towards becoming a well-rounded entertainment professional that can fit into any design setting. I have enjoyed my time with the Game Development Club as well as the RPI Players, including being elected their Technical Director my senior year.

Goals

My ideal profession is one where I can fully express my creative abilities. No matter what media I end up working with, I hope that I can spend my life perfecting my craft in a beneficial manner. I also hope to spend at least some time working to help others, in whatever manner available given my skills. Be it working on an advertising campaign to raise awareness of a cause or furthering my attempts to educate children through video games, I want to be able to give back to my community.
