Michael Tabtabai :: The Work

Name

Michael Tabtabai

About

I am an Associate Creative Director at Modernista! in Boston, MA. While my background is in interactive and online media, I think the best work comes from solid integrated thinking. A good idea is a good idea, no matter where it may find you.

Previously, I was an Interactive Art Director at Crispin Porter + Bogusky. I worked on brands like VW, Coke Zero, Nike, Microsoft and Domino's. Further in the past, I've worked with Nterface, Palm Pictures, and freelance clients that range from Michel Gondry to Reebok.

I graduated from Parsons School of Design in May, 2007 with a Master of Fine Arts degree in Design & Technology. My thesis project consisted of creating new online social networks, and hacking MySpace to create art projects. I have spent a fair amount of time designing, developing, and consulting with social networks and startups.
