Michael Eads

Michael oversees all operations and print and production engagements at Sametz Blackstone, working collaboratively with designers and strategists to ensure brand compliance and quality control. After receiving a BA from Rhodes College and spending ten years in the advertising and publishing fields in Memphis and Boston, Michael joined Sametz Blackstone in 1993.

A member of the American Institute of Graphic Arts, Michael has produced projects that have been published in Communication Arts, Print, and Graphic Design: USA, and has received awards from Printing Industries of America, Engraved Stationery Manufacturers Association, and Boston Lithographers and Craftsmen Club. His many clients at Sametz Blackstone include all of our clients who receive print and production support, including Meketa Investment Group, The Baupost Group, Harvard Medical School, University of New Haven, multiple clients at MIT, Wellington Management, Celebrity Series of Boston, MassArt, Harvard College, The Wheeler School, Wesleyan University, Curtis Institute of Music, and Boston Symphony Orchestra.

When he’s not poring over proofs or examining an emboss, Michael can be found on the beach, in the park, or walking around his Boston neighborhood with his dog, Bowie. Like the rest of his colleagues at Sametz Blackstone, Michael is an avid collector: Fiestaware, books, photography (including pieces from our own Creative Director, Alex), and books (he spends enough time in bookstores that we’re obligated to mention it twice.)
