I'm Mike, a Senior UX Design Leader with extensive experience in Digital Product Strategy, Creative Direction, and improving User Experience.
Great design starts with really giving what users want and making their experience smooth and easy. I'm passionate about using design thinking and fresh ideas to solve complex problems and improve how users engage with products. I truly believe that exceptional design goes beyond just meeting user needs; it should also predict and exceed what they expect, leading to happier users and boosting business success.
I have a solid background in user experience and digital product design, which helps me turn abstract concepts into user-friendly solutions. My skills include UX/UI design, prototyping, usability testing, and leading teams, along with a good grasp of information architecture. I thrive in team settings where I can gather various feedback to improve designs that truly connect with users, leveraging user research and scalable design systems. Throughout my career, I've hit some exciting milestones, like spearheading the design and front-end development of innovative SaaS applications across multiple platforms, enhancing customer experiences for large, content-rich corporate websites, and conducting in-depth user research to inform my design choices. Plus, as the owner of Flying Monkeys Studio, I've effectively handled branding and marketing campaigns for a wide range of clients, highlighting my adaptability and creativity.
Throughout my journey, I’ve had the privilege of leading the design and development of cutting-edge SaaS and enterprise products, employing atomic design principles to enhance workflows and ensure consistency. With every challenge I tackle, my goal is to elevate user satisfaction and drive business growth through innovative creativity and strategic thinking. Let’s create something remarkable together!
