About Michael Fess
Michael has more than 15 years of business and leadership experience.
Michael Fess grew up in London Ontario. He started his first business (Maxxwell Productions) at the age of 15 at the encouragement of his father. Michael was getting busier and busier helping friends and family design posters, promotional pieces and logos for their small businesses.
Self taught in every way, Michael spent the next number of years growing in his knowledge and understanding of business, design, editing and development. He is as people-oriented as he is task-oriented, loving to find the most efficient and effective way to get the job done while bringing everyone on the team along for the journey. A generalist at heart, Michael has a wide skillset that spans a variety of disciplines. Michael loves using his skills in concert to provide thoughtful, creative and effective solutions to whatever business/organization he is working for.
In 2017 Maxxwell Productions incorporated and continues to do business under the banner “Maxxwell Creative Group” taking into consideration the growing group of freelance contractors that collaborate with Michael on projects of every shape and size.

"I've had the pleasure of working with Michael on various projects of all sizes for 3 years now. I can honestly say he is a creative genius with the best of both worlds; wildly talented and innovative yet still somehow incredibly humble, organized and systematic in his approach to work. This combination results in efficient, solution-focused outcomes that are executed at a world-class standard, often quicker than originally projected. I have no hesitation in recommending Michael and his team to consistently deliver quality work in design & media and beyond!"

Michael was involved in the creation and revisions of our mobile apps, website, training videos and other collateral marketing pieces. One of Michael’s greatest strengths is his ability to understand and interpret a projects needs with very little direction and communication. He consistently delivered world-class results that often went beyond what we originally discussed. He doesn’t just design, he provides thoughtful and thorough solutions that take into consideration the aesthetic of the project as well as it function and ease of use."
