I graduated from the University of Idaho with a BFA in Graphic Design. After college, I worked for a locally produced, internationally distributed magazine, putting my fresh skills to work. I packed up and moved to Seattle, where I worked in traditional print design for several years before diving into contract work to get my feet wet in various aspects of design. This is when I developed my love of UX and everything involved. After six years of contracting for various companies, I took a full-time position with Infospace\/Motricity, where I could combine my graphic design skills with my passion for UX into a unique and well-rounded skill set that can easily adapt to any challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Please check out my portfolio and contact me if you need more information or have any questions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/?page_id=257\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-449\" title=\"about_me\" src=\"http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/about_me3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/about_me3.png 600w, http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/about_me3-300x100.png 300w, http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/about_me3-500x166.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am originally from Long Island, NY, and moved out west at the early age of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-431","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=431"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":487,"href":"http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/431\/revisions\/487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/mikeburkard.com\/portfolio\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
