He is the principal and founder of Small Design Firm and is privileged to work with amazing clients and a talented staff.
Partner
Like Dave, Michael McKenna earned his three degrees at MIT and the Media Laboratory. While there he spoke about and demonstrated his research into 3D interaction and animation at venues around the world. Between MIT and Small Design Firm, Mike co-founded a pioneering research startup in the fields of 3D simulation, medical imaging, and surgical planning. Joining Dave shortly after Small Design Firm’s formation, Mike serves as the technical director and takes all the cool projects to work on for himself.
