About Michael
Transformative Global Product Design Leader | Building High-Performing Teams & Best-in-Class Products, User Experiences, and Visual Experiences
I am a passionate global product design leader who has developed a strong reputation for producing high-performing world-class design organizations that deliver innovative products that meet the intersection between business objectives and user needs. I do this by fostering an environment that engenders product design best practices and competencies, user empathy, and design aesthetics.
I lead from a position of trust and personal integrity. Often regarded as a change agent in the design disciplines, I help companies improve their products by transforming their design organizations and cultures. Backed by global experiences across differentiated organizations and industries, I am often recruited to transform, redesign, rebuild, and overhaul, and have successfully delivered #1-ranked products, cultivating strong team cultures that transcend geographies and remote obstacles, and generating millions in revenue.
I have delivered impactful results inside industry leaders that include Microsoft, VMware, Dell EMC, Staples, Siemens, Avast Software, and AVG Technologies. Progressing across both hands-on and executive leadership capacities, I navigate seamlessly across finite details and bigger-picture views to lay the foundation for change and progression.
I have played a part in multiple first-mover products; showcased my entrepreneurial drive with the founding and building up of an award-winning product, interactive, brand, and graphic design firm; and delivered designs for products with 435M+ user populations.
I am skilled in the full gamut of product design, user experience, design systems, and design thinking. I am a difference-maker, collaborative asset, and value-added business partner ready to take teams, products, and organizations into the future.
My philosophy is based on the principle that visually engaging user-centric design can significantly improve user experiences and, in turn, substantially enhance overall product values.
In short, I don't build design teams, I build design cultures that allow teams to excel and build award-winning products.
Please connect if you feel my skills align with the needs of your organization.
