Hey, it’s Michael :)

Most people nowadays just call me Mich though. I have a background in molecular biology and political science research, but I work in product design.

I’m currently looking for new opportunities in UX Design. I’m a holistic product designer, having been the solo designer across different projects and early-stage startups. I also have extensive experience in research across different fields.

I excel at creating high growth in companies and helping companies understand their users and market. In the past, I’ve worked for 2 early-stage startups, helping them to scale their product within the Toronto market.

Outside of design, I love working on passion projects, as well as playing video games.

I’m currently located in Toronto, Ontario. If you’re in the area, let's get coffee - my treat! Otherwise, feel free to find me on LinkedIn.
