Hello, I'm Michael
With fifteen+ years experience in the creative field,
I am passionate in developing full ecosystems, collaborating with diverse teams to help define effective processes and manageable roadmaps.
I enjoy building teams that are cohesive and where each individual participates at elevating one another with positivity and good work ethic.
I am currently looking for opportunities to lead a talented and collaborative team of UX and visual designers.
"Design creates culture. Culture shapes values.
Values determine the future."

My peers say it best
I am thrilled to recommend Michael, who is one of the best teammates and collaborators I've ever worked with. He is exceptionally talented, and brings with him a broad skillset, deep empathy, and meticulous attention to detail.
I had the pleasure of collaborating on a new product experience with Michael; he consistently delivered thoughtful outputs and design assets that went above and beyond expectations, and was able to carefully balance input from a variety of stakeholders while keeping true to the product's purpose and mission.
He's able to think holistically about a challenge and can anticipate potential issues and proactively address them, which saved us innumerable hours of revisions and adjustments. Perhaps most importantly, users loved the products he helped create!
I sincerely hope I have the opportunity to collaborate with Michael again.
I truly enjoyed my experience working alongside Michael at Logixboard. He is a super thoughtful designer with a strong eye for visual polish and a solid grasp on systems thinking. He was helping spearhead and craft our design library while tackling some very complex feature releases.
Michael has a strong ability to work autonomously – scheduling internal reviews, customer feedback sessions, and iterating to drive projects forward while sharing his insights. He always made himself available to the team around him, be it through a quick Figma tutorial, sharing his perspective on a potential solution, or offering mentorship to more junior designers.
Michael will be an asset to any team lucky enough to land him in the future. His emotional intelligence is off the charts and he’s always pushing himself to grow as a designer and leader. I’m really excited to see where he ends up down the road, and if I’m fortunate, we’ll cross paths again.
