About Me

I’m Michael, a graduate student at the University of Washington pursuing a Master’s in Information Management, specializing in User Experience and Information Architecture.

Much of my work sits in the early stages of design: understanding a problem, identifying what users need, and shaping those insights into app concepts, prototypes, and digital experiences.

I’m drawn to projects that help people make decisions, discover useful information, and feel more confident taking action. As a collaborator, I bring curiosity, clear communication, and a willingness to iterate toward any thoughtful and valuable design solution!

Outside of design, I enjoy cooking, listening to music, and playing video games!
