Hi! I’m Mike, a UX design leader with over ten years of experience across healthcare, news media, agency work and enterprise product design.
I got my start in news media, redesigning content pages and building UI concepts used across a network of affiliate sites. From there I moved into an agency role, translating concepts into detailed layout specs across web and print formats. That early, deadline-driven work taught me how to design at scale within real production constraints, a mindset that still shapes how I approach every project.
Over time my work grew into full product design: leading research and discovery, defining user flows and building the systems that let those flows scale. I’ve designed a patient-provider dashboard, partnered with behavioral scientists on a wellbeing app built around habit formation, built an interactive kiosk experience within tight hardware constraints, and led UI work on products that had to meet clinical and regulatory requirements.
For the past eight and a half years I’ve been a UX design leader at Johnson & Johnson. Most recently I led UX initiatives from research through prototyping, partnering closely with product and engineering to reduce inconsistency across touchpoints. Before that I worked inside a large-scale design system supporting multiple brands in a regulated industry, where the job was part design craft, part strategy and part cross-functional advocacy, centered especially on accessibility. I came into that work through necessity, leading the remediation of a global design system after an international site went offline for failing government accessibility requirements. It changed how I think about design: not just making things look right, but making them work for everyone, regardless of ability, device or context.
Outside of work, I’m a dad to two very active kids and a frequent chauffeur to their many activities. I’m a fan of a few local college and pro teams, usually cheering them on with cautious optimism. I enjoy hands-on DIY projects, discovering music across genres, getting pulled into a great new show and traveling to new places with my family.
