Welcome my online world of mseventy6.com, portfolio site of Australian designer Michael Dawidowicz. It's a place where I can show what I've been working on and bits and pieces that go into making up my creative journey what it is.

About me, well I'm from Melbourne Australia. Am passionate about all facets of design, I live, breathe and sleep it. For me design is fun and enjoyable and I wouldn't want it any other way. My current day job is working as a senior graphic designer at The Age newspaper, and in between everything else I run my experimental site Abstractified and the online submission site Urban Collective which I began in 2002 when I was living and designing in Tokyo Japan.

This little online portfolio shows a broad range of work I have done over the years, both print and web. From work in Australia to the two years I lived in Tokyo, my work here shows the diversity and depth that I bring to my designs.

Enjoy.
