Background

About Michael Runge

Graduate of Architecture focused on creating opportunities for meaningful connection. The common theme through all of my past experiences has been learning and people. I've developed skills that are necessary for me to operate with coworkers and clients in a creative cooperative way. None of the success I've had could have happened without these relationship not only working but thriving. One thing that has helped is that I love learning new things. I find my self most alive when I have to use my skills in new ways to solve creative problems. I enjoy challenges when I have a good team to support me and I enjoy fostering that team into something stronger and larger. Most of my leadership skills have been developed in Know No Stranger, an artist collective which specializes in original creative content for a variety of clients. It was something built out of a need and within a few short years we have done work for IMCPL, the Humanities Council, the IMA, and many more. The most satisfying part of this experience has been my role of helping my team grow and progress in ways that weren't available in the beginning.
