I am a multi-disciplinary hands on user experience designer with a track record of delivering exceptional products. As a UX design leader, my teams have successfully created award winning experiences by reinventing brand identities, developing and strategizing design systems and delivering memorable creative engagements.
Michael’s creative conviction is complemented by his ability to produce great quality interactive design and animation work. Whether in support of new campaigns or extensions to established design systems, his willingness to question and provide alternatives even to the most vetted direction always delivered success for the organization. Michael’s positive and diligent approach to his work made him a sought after collaborator across different teams. His contributions to a rebrand initiative across marketing and development were instrumental to establish the foundation of Oracle’s next-gen digital experiences.
Michael is a highly skilled interactive designer who quickly distinguished himself as one of the most capable designers on Oracle’s Brand Interactive team. With a wide range of abilities in his toolkit, from UX and UI to motion design, I knew I could depend on him to consistently deliver exceptional experiences. Always an outspoken design thinker, Michael is adept at justifying his design decisions with careful consideration. He is an effective communicator in project meetings, able to speak to team members and stakeholders alike with confidence and tact. Demonstrating versatility across multiple teams and projects, Michael sets a great example for the type of multifaceted collaborator I always look for in a designer. I believe he would be a valuable asset and key contributor to the long-term success of any digital team.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Michael for 1.5 years, during which we collaborated on several high-profile design projects at Oracle. I was very impressed with Michael’s ability to translate business requirements into engaging web experiences through thoughtful visual design and expertise in motion design. He’s also a genuinely caring and open person, who’s quick to share his knowledge of all the best lunch spots in the Financial District! Michael would be a great asset for any company looking for an experienced design leader.
I had the pleasure of working with Michael at Oracle, collaborating on several interactive projects while he was my go-to motion design resource.
