Michael Oechsle Email & Phone Number

I don't like labels...Product Designer, UXer, Engineer, Musician.... let’s just say I’ve always worn a few different hats.But at the heart of it is a passion for collaboration, and empowering teams to be at their most thoughtful and creative.Helping unpack complex problems. Making sure we’re designing the right Thing. That’s what gets me out of bed each day.Because only then can you make the Thing right. I originally studied industrial design and mechanical engineering. I loved sketching and model making. The dream was to one day design cars or furniture.But then I saw what else design can do.I learnt that design can impact society in ways far beyond just Making Things Look Pretty.It’s about listening. Endless curiosity. And a drive to Do Things Better.So for the last 10ish years I’ve been shaping physical and digital experiences, and working with organisations of all sizes to launch products and services. Amongst many others, I’ve worked with nura, Westpac, NAB, Virgin, RMIT, HBF, and the Australian Government.My work has been commended by Australian Good Design awards, Red Dot International Product Design and iF Product Design awards. These days you’ll also find me geeking out on electric vehicle design, economics podcasts, or devouring the latest reading on social innovation.That’s if I’m not out getting lost in Nature with the fam.Sound interesting? Get in touch. I’d love to see what we can make together:)
