A Little About Michael.

The value of a medium I work in is relevant only in the level of intimacy and human connection it provides.
Innovation in that connective space is what drives me.

Hi, Welcome to Venturepolitian!

Hello! I'm Michael Davidson. This is my personal site. It is part portfolio, part a place for me to share my interests and insights. I love story and the strategy of design, so most of what's here will connect to this in some way. As a polymath, I am driven to "master" multiple disciplines. I am an artist, filmmaker, and photographer. But I’m also a marketing executive, writer, entrepreneur,  tech nerd, educator, soccer coach, and of course parent, spouse, and son.  All of these and more drive me. So as time goes on and I continue to work on this site, you can expect to see a broader range of content and topics, depending on my current focus. I work to gain as much mastery of each of these as I am capable of achieving. My “lack” of focus is my greatest strength. It has given me the skill to make productive connections between disconnected disciplines, bringing success in each of these areas.

Work History

My years of experience working in marketing strategy, brand development, and technology as both a creative, and in leadership has kept my thought processes highly analytical and flexible for successful outcomes. My background in fine arts (BFA), and business (entrepreneur and MBA candidate) have helped me find connections and juxtaposition that best communicate my client's story. If you’d like to learn more about my hard or soft skills, and work achievements let's talk. I'd be happy to send you a copy of my resume. In the meantime here's an overview of my work history.
