Hi, I'm Mike

With 30+ years of experience designing digital products since the web's early days, I help businesses solve complex UX challenges across industries from finance to tech startups. I bridge the gap between design and development, bringing both strategic vision and hands-on execution to every project.

I don't believe in cookie-cutter UX processes—every challenge has unique constraints. My approach adapts accordingly, whether that means deep user research or rapid prototyping. What remains constant is my focus on creating experiences that matter.

I offer two paths to better digital experiences:
