Hi there! I'm Michael. I'm a product designer, design strategist, and UX mentor. I enjoy making the world a better place by solving complex design problems through design thinking.My design approach focuses on a few things:User-Centered: A focus on understanding the needs, behaviors, and preferences of users. Involvement of users in the design process through research, testing, and feedback loops.Inclusive:Products, services, and experiences that are accessible and usable by people of all abilities, ages, and backgrounds. With a goal to foster a sense of belonging within our communities.Eco-conscious:Also known as sustainable or green, this approach takes into consideration environmental impact, social responsibility, and resource efficiency throughout the product lifecycle.Design ethics: Ethics is sometimes overlooked where the KPI's, OKR's, Profit Margins, of the world start to drive the design purpose overshadowing social responsibility, accessibility, inclusivity, and sustainability. At the end of projects, if we can't answer what have we done to help people or make the world a better place, then it may be time to reflect. Nevertheless, the most ideal approach is when business goals mutually benefit ethical design.
