award-winning work, honed a sharp strategic sensibility, and cultivated a significant track record of being a catalyst for achievement and innovation. From the onset of his career, he has intuitively seized opportunities at the forefront of architecture and design and dedicated his talents and energy toward expanding that frontier. A gifted team builder and leader, Michael has excelled at nurturing high-performing teams - bolstering existing strengths, deepening team relationships, and creating vital space for cross-functional collaboration. He works with executive leaders to inform talent practices, company culture, and support, if not lead, sensitive, high-risk ventures. Michael, his work, and writing have been featured in numerous exhibitions and publications by venerable cultural and print institutions. He was born, raised, and educated in New York City - having studied at Pratt Institute's School of Architecture, where he currently serves as a Visiting Assistant Professor. Michael resides and works in New York City with his partner and two children. https://michaelcaton.com/Connect Wed, 22 Apr 2020 18:59:21 +0000 Michael Caton | Portfolio https://michaelcaton.com/Connect Let’s connect ︎Quick professional thoughts, sharing business and employment opportunities, and keeping up with my current professional pursuits. ︎ I plan to share reflections and ideas about professional subjects more frequently via Medium.
