I’m Mike and I solve digital problems.
That’s a fancy way of saying I spend too much time on the internet.
I work on a design system for Northwestern Mutual and I'm based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Things I do
End-to-end user experience design and front-end web development.
Whether it’s building a website, designing user experiences, or spearheading a design system, I’ve been there. I've usually made it out in one piece, too!
Things I believe
Figure out your problems before solving them. Favor systems over single-use solutions usually, but not always. Good work comes from communication and collaboration. Always be learning.
Oh, and be nice to other people. Everyone is fighting their own battle.
Work Samples
These are just a few of the fun things I’ve worked on.
UnitedHealthcare
Web Application & Design System
Rebuilding a 30-year old legacy system from the ground-up is no small task, nor is developing a design system alongside it. My grey hairs have doubled, but at least you get some fun stories out of it.
Yamaha
Consumer Website (Agency)
A media-rich consumer website to excite prospective boaters and provide resources to existing owners. A labor of love made by the most amazing digital team this side of Milwaukee.
Wahl
Consumer Website (Agency)
An eCommerce website unifying three websites into a single, scalable platform. Information architecture was the name of the game, along with building a simple and effective shopping experience.
