I’m a UX designer. Over the last 10 years I’ve worked at Geckoboard, Xero, and Mitsubishi Electric.
I have Masters degree in user centered design and a broad range of skills including user research, interface design, and prototyping. I’ve lead the design of major projects, working closely with creative teams, product managers and software developers. I love collaborating with others and sharing my passion for design.
When I’m not designing I love getting outdoors and exploring new places. I’m a keen whitewater kayaker and a hopeless skier. I also like to make videos of my adventures.

He’s a superb systems thinker – He thinks deeply about the full ecosystem, user requirements, business logic, engineering, delivery rollout and upkeep. He crafts solutions that are extremely thoughtful, elegant, high performing and enduring.”
“Mike was a significant part of our corporate rebranding and website relaunch. He always aims to understand the context around his design work. His curiosity and insight has greatly benefited our team.”
“Mike always pushed the whole design team towards greater consistency and creating more functional, usable software. He worked closely with his whole team, from subject matter experts to product owners and back end engineers in order to improve the reporting experience in Xero. ”
