Michael Kroll — Graphic Designer
Michael has a thing for Great White Sharks. When he was five, his parents took him to see Jaws at a local drive-in theatre. To this day he does not sleep with his arms or legs dangling over the edge of his bed. As a wedding gift, his wife Shonda took him Great White Shark cage diving at the Farallon Islands west of San Francisco. For Michael it was magical.
He brings this same supernormal and imaginative passion to his work. Michael has the intuitive ability to clearly communicate concepts, ideas, energy and personality through his visual design. His work elegantly speaks out for a wide range of individuals and organizations; from Fortune 500 companies to not-for-profit agencies to musicians and performing artists.
Michael is the founder of Sheep in Disguise, his new media design studio in Carmel, California. Prior to opening his studio, he was Creative Director at ManyOne Networks and the Creative Director at Zazengo.
Michael has a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Computer Arts from the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Film Production from Columbia College Chicago.
Anatoli Papirovski — UI Developer
Anatoli started his career in Prague, Czech Republic back in 2001. At the time, he was one of the first developers working with XHTML, CSS, and other new technologies that were just emerging. This allowed him to work on some of the most prominent projects based in Czech Republic.
In 2004, he made his way over to the beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. Since then he’s had the opportunity to work on projects for such clients as Education.com, Intuit, Revlon, and the United Nations Foundation.
At Sheep in Disguise, Anatoli is responsible for handling usability testing and implementing Michael’s designs. He occasionally publishes professional articles about web design in English and Czech.
