Head of Product, Printfection
I had the pleasure of working with Mike on my team for a year and a half, and I can confidently recommend him for any UX research or design role. He approached occupying a new role within the company with confidence but also humility. Mike has a calming and mature demeanor, with a realistic but positive perspective, especially during challenging times, I leaned on him often for those reasons. Mike also loves to learn new skills, so I think he'll be a great asset to any organization that invests in him!

Sr. Customer Merchandise Manager, Printfection
One of Mike's standout qualities is his ability to connect the dots for those who may not fully grasp the intricacies of UX. His talent for breaking down complex concepts into understandable components has been invaluable. Not only internally, but externally as Mike's knack for simplifying UX processes enhances collaboration and ensures that everyone is on the same page, making him a key player in customer relationship building. I have no doubt that Mike will bring the same level of enthusiasm, expertise, and humor to any project or team he joins.
Shan Shen
Principal UX Designer, Custom Ink
It was a joy to work with Mike during the merging of UX teams when Custom Ink acquired Printfection. He made valuable contributions to our collective knowledge and the evolving body of UX work. This included conducting research studies, performing market analysis, conducting UX audits, and working on rebranding projects to establish a coherent design language. It's worth noting that his product partners consistently praise his work, as the quality of his designs shines through a platform developed by a "team of one".
Dennis Cisterna
CEO, Investability Solutions
Mike is easily one of the most talented designers I have ever worked with. With minimal direction, he is able to understand the tone and audience for his work. It doesn't matter the complexity of the project, he is internally hard-wired to find a solution. His affable nature and good sense of humor allows him to mesh into any group quickly and he is definitely is a "team player". Any firm would be lucky to have Mike on their roster.
