Hi there. I'm Mike.

I am an advocate for the user.
It’s my job to put myself in the user’s shoes and imagine being handed my product for the first time. Did my product just make their day better or worse?
ABOUT
Experience
I’ve been solving problems and delivering great designs for more than 10 years. I’ve worked on SaaS, on-prem, and hybrid platforms. I’ve designed interfaces for native mobile, responsive websites and apps, and even embedded hardware interfaces.
Whether I’ve been with a multinational corporation or a smaller start-up, I’ve always made sure the stakeholders’ wants meet the users’ needs. I’ve worked elbow-to-elbow with the dev team, and I’ve worked with teams that were spread all over the world. I’ve helped launch multiple design systems and I’ve even managed other designers both locally and remotely.
In other words, this isn't my first rodeo.
