“
Mike is a fantastic designer and team player. He is one of the reasons I love working with designers so much as a UX writer—highly collaborative, encouraging, compassionate, and always pushing for the best work from all people involved. His work is polished, unique, and human. We worked specifically on a product that had never existed in the world prior, and he somehow managed to make something that felt familiar and accessible to all users."

Mikey is one of the best designers I’ve had the pleasure to work with. He’s able to lead within any stage of the product design process — from discovery and research, through to visual design and prototyping. I’ve also seen Mikey deliver incredible branding projects — ultimately he understands deeply how successful branding intertwines with product, which is such a strong skillset to offer."
