Hi, I'm Michael
I help businesses build cultures that connect with customers through smart use of technology. Today, I focus on Generative AI and its power to reshape how we work and communicate.
Design and Strategy
I explore how thoughtful design and usability can improve decision-making. By combining data storytelling with Agentic AI, I translate complex challenges into understandable, actionable steps.
My work
I’ve led interaction design for leading SaaS, fintech, and CPG brands. Sharing what I’ve learned by teaching in Northwestern’s Master’s in Information Design and Strategy program for more than ten years.
