Hi, I'm Michael, a product designer in Sydney.
I specialise in enterprise product design, with experience in account systems, permissions, and identity workflows where clarity matters. I've led design for government, energy, and retail serving thousands of customers and businesses.
I use research to inform decisions and partner with engineering to deliver.
