WHO WE ARE
20+ years of experience across design and web
Mike—founder, web designer, developer, branding specialist
Hi, I'm Mike—the founder, web designer, developer, and branding specialist behind Surge River. Based in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn—I help small businesses stand out online with modern, functional websites and strategic branding that reflects their unique value.
I studied Graphic Design at FIT in New York City, where I combined my love for design with a strong technical foundation. There, I honed my skills in visual communication, typography, color theory, and user-centered design. Since then, I've worked across industries—including creative agencies, photo retouching studios, web consultancies, and tech—shaping how I approach every design and development challenge.
Today, I bring that blend of creativity and strategy into every project. I believe in clear communication and a thoughtful, streamlined process—so even busy business owners can enjoy a smooth experience and get results that move their business forward.
