À propos de Michael
Hello there!
I am a Senior Product Designer (UX/UI) specializing in reducing cognitive load within complex user flows and backing those interfaces with modular, developer-ready design systems. I bring over 10 years of experience. In this time my reach of industries and my legacy of top notch outcomes makes me an invaluable member of any team. Today, I help startups and scale-ups architect 0-to-1 products with a specific focus on data-heavy mobile and web environments.
I partner with founders and product teams to align user behavior with core business metrics like conversion, retention, and overall company value.
Proven Impact & Core Expertise:
- Venture-Backed Product Strategy: I design products that scale businesses. Recently, my direct UX architecture and product strategy for a 0-to-1 peer-to-peer e-commerce marketplace helped drive a $3 million increase in the startup's valuation.
- High-Stakes AI & Native Mobile UX: I thrive in complex, high-friction environments. I have crafted the end-to-end UX for an AI-powered live wagering app (Bellum) and spearheaded UX research for predictive AI interfaces (FIS).
- Massive Ecosystem Overhauls: I transform legacy platforms into modern, user-first experiences. At Christian Care Ministry, I completely renovated their digital ecosystem by optimizing complex member dashboards and native mobile apps from the ground up.
- De-risking Engineering: I bridge the gap between design and development. By building rigorous, component-driven design systems in Figma and testing high-fidelity prototypes, I save engineering teams hundreds of hours in costly rework and accelerate time-to-market.
As an American expat based in The Hague, I am very comfortable integrating directly into international, agile teams and utilizing the latest tools to speed up workflows. If you need a low-ego, high-impact design partner to level up your product’s UI and UX, let's connect.
