Hi, I’m Michael! I’m a Product Designer that is passionate, driven and obsessed with delivering work that makes a positive impact to people of the world. It is my goal to elevate design and change how the world approaches problem solving. Empathy is at the center of my design philosophy.
‍
I am a designer with over seven years of experience in leading product strategy, research and design workstreams across product teams for global organizations. My super power has always been my collaborative and curious nature. I have a great track record of working well within product teams to deliver the most impactful work for users.
‍
I became a designer to create experiences that make the complex, simple. My journey started when I was young, I always love building crafty solutions to things that I believed shouldn’t be as complicated. Prior to design, I was a music teacher, I spent everyday mentoring my students and getting them to think about music more expressively and passionately. I strive to always build experiences that will make an impact in every user’s life.

If I’m not cranking out prototypes for testing or building intricate task flows, I am often playing my cello, or taking long hikes to take film photos. I've recently started developing the film myself in my own dark room!
