hello

I'm Michael, a Lead Product Designer with 15+ years shipping experiences that people actually love to use, from AI-powered enterprise platforms to mobile games played by millions.

 

I've led design for cross-functional teams at ServiceNow, and startups like Scopely, Machine Zone, Zynga, and Fyber, working across the full spectrum from early-stage zero to one products to the delivery of products at scale.

​

My work on ServiceNow's platform features like Connected Sales Experience helped my team earn a Nielsen Norman Group Design Award and drove measurable gains in both user satisfaction and efficiency.

 

In past roles, I've managed design teams, websites and UX design. At Fyber, a German Ad-Tech start-up, I supported the team through multiple acquisitions and the transition to a public company. I have also enjoyed working in the games industry for many years, where I helped develop user experiences for startups Zynga, Machine Zone and Scopely's biggest games. As a passionate design professional, I remain inspired by new challenges, working with exceptional teams, and creating impactful digital product experiences.

 

What drives me is the intersection of strategy, craft and emerging tech. I'm equally comfortable in a stakeholder alignment meeting and heads-down in Figma. I care about building things that are intuitive, intentional, and empowering.

​

I work closely with stakeholders to understand data-driven goals and bridge technical and creative barriers with innovative user experience design.

 

Right now, I'm especially energized by what's happening in AI across industries, presenting opportunity spaces for accelerated idea exploration and overall product development launch cycles, with design as the competitive advantage.
