About Michael Vincent Donovan
Personal
I live in the Park Slope, Brooklyn with my girlfriend, Melissa, and our dog, Sienna.
When not toiling away in my design lab, I keep busy by reading as many books and blogs as I can get my hands on; watching sports, movies, or documentaries of any sort; writing & painting & drawing (though not as much as I'd like); exercising and training by foot or bike; and exploring the NYC & Brooklyn cultures.
