Who is Mike Pavao?
Thank you for taking the time visiting my website.
I've always been drawn to the moments that matter — the energy of a live performance, the intensity of a game-winning play, the quiet details that make a story worth telling.
For over 15 years I've worked across media production, live events, and visual design — not because I followed a career path, but because creativity kept pulling me in new directions. I've run sound for Blues, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Brass Bands at a live venue in Providence. I've stood on the sidelines of semi-pro football capturing footage that went on to change players' lives — one highlight reel helped a player land a CFL tryout invitation. I've managed stages at PVDFest, Rhode Island's largest arts and music festival.
Through all of it, photography and graphic design have been the constants — the way I process the world and share it with others.
This site is a window into that work. Take a look around.
