PROFESSIONALLY
With 15+ years of experience across digital creative, UX/UI, and product design, I bring a uniquely hybrid perspective that bridges creative direction, brand storytelling, and human-centered digital innovation. My career spans Fortune 2000 companies and emerging brands including Stellantis (Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, Dodge, Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Maserati), Assurant, Accenture, General Motors, GMAC Mortgage, Blue Cross Blue Shield, HAP, and AmeriSave Mortgage, where I’ve led cross-disciplinary teams delivering accessible, data-driven, and emotionally resonant experiences.
As a Creative Director and UX/UI/Product Design leader, I combine graphic design, brand identity, and packaging expertise with the structure of user-centered design. I’ve built entire spirits brands from the ground up. Developing names, logos, bottle designs, and full advertising campaigns for international markets, with several brands now launched and expanding across India and beyond. Alongside this, I’ve designed scalable digital ecosystems that perform beautifully across devices and platforms.
My work merges AI-driven ideation, generative design, and large language models (LLMs) with creative intuition to accelerate concepting, streamline workflows, and elevate storytelling. Grounded in empathy, accessibility (ADA, WCAG 2.1 AA, Section 508), and strategic clarity, my goal is to make design that connects humans and technology seamlessly, where every experience tells a story, every detail has purpose, and every pixel feels intentional and human.

"Mike is a foodie and chef at heart with a fine wine and Jazzy sole. He gives the shirt off his back for family and loved ones." - Bob Benyas (Life long friend)
I always get, "You look familiar, do I know you?" I have many doppelgangers! lol!
If I'm not working, you'll find me: working out, playing racquetball, taking long walks, by a body of water, spending time with family and friends, cooking, trying new restaurants, enjoying a good wine, craft beer or a bourbon... and maybe playing some video games.
