Principals

Michael Parker
Co-Founder, Director of Strategic Marketing
Entreprenuership began at an early age for Michael Parker. As a teenager, he started a neighborhood landscaping business, employing his childhood buddies and "borrowing" his Dad's lawn mower. His enterprising nature inevitably led him to earn his MBA from Arizona State University, where he also received an MS in Computer Information Systems.

Founding Gravitate was a natural extension of his lifelong passion for marketing and business. As Gravitate's resident search engine guru, Michael helps companies get found and stay on top. When not preaching the merits of good content, Michael enjoys outdoor sports and lounging at home with his Chihuahua.

Cyndi Nguyen
Co-Founder, Creative Director
It's hard to explain how a Psychology Major from Yale University ended up as Creative Director for an interactive agency, but to folks around here, it makes perfect sense. Successful design is at its core intuitive, universally appealing, and dirt simple to use - so understanding what truly motivates users helps keep dysfunctional designs in check.

At Gravitate, Cyndi leads all interactive design with a keen eye on web usability. She's passionate about clean design, smart site engineering, and good ol' fashioned creativity. When not designing memorable online experiences, Cyndi is dazzling audiences with her wicked apple pie recipe.
