about
Hey there, I'm Michael, and I wear two exciting hats in the world of design and storytelling. As a UX Researcher and Writer, I'm thrilled to have you explore my online portfolio.
My journey into the captivating realm of UX unfolded after an exhilarating two-decade adventure in the music and entertainment industry. During this time, I honed my skills as a journalist, content producer, and marketing whiz at renowned companies like Viacom, MTV, BET, Moguldom Media, Universal Music Group, The Source, and VIBE Magazines.
Now, in the UX universe, I've blended my ability to connect deeply with users, gather and dissect data to inform design decisions, and craft engaging microcopy for apps, websites, and digital products. My ultimate mission is to enhance the user experience, making it not only enjoyable but genuinely rewarding.
So, welcome to my world of UX exploration and storytelling – where design and words unite to create remarkable digital experiences. Feel free to dive into my portfolio and discover the stories I've woven in pixels and prose.
