About

Hi, I'm Mike.

I'm designer and leader with over ten year of experience delivering meaningful user experiences and leading design teams across a wide array of industries, domains, technologies, and products. I love tough design problems, clever solutions, elegant visual design, learning new things, and helping others grow.

Design and technology make up my days and my nights belong to the best bosses I've ever had - my two daughters. Free time is about recording hobby-rock, making lousy artwork, woodworking, Star Wars Legos, and skiing. I've been in the PACNW for over 25 and I love this place.

Nice to meet you.
I bet we'd have an interesting conversation.
