hi, i’m mike. i design by
listening first.

I’m a designer in New York working across brand, web and product. I like starting with research, testing with real people, and fixing the structure before polishing the look.

a little about me

I came to design through branding, and I stayed for the problem-solving.

My love for design came at young age, I tried every medium out there until I found something that let me impact the world and communicate my ideas in a unique way: design. I got my education in Graphic Design at NYIT, where I learned the fundamentals of design and the importance of branding.

Since then I’ve transitioned into UX/UI and product design. Both areas have a core premise: problem solving. I work tirelessly to make sure any product or design is able to communicate what I want to the user; making sure to get real information to back that I have successfully solved the problem.

When I’m not designing, I’m hanging with friends, dancing and making good memories.

let’s talk.
