About me

Hi, I’m Michael. I’ve been designing digital products for over 10 years, helping companies grow their revenue by making complex tools simple and delightful to use.

I currently work at casa.io, a leader in bitcoin self-custody. We secure billions in bitcoin for clients in 46+ countries and build the financial products around it.

My background in computer science helps me close the gap between product and engineering. Code is part of how I design.

Outside of work, I’m interested in technology, endurance sports and riding my motorcycle.

My expertise6

Agentic design

Prototyping and building with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, from first idea to shipped code.

Design systems

Components, tokens and documentation that designers, engineers and AI agents build from.

Fintech & bitcoin

Bitcoin self-custody, multisig, buying and selling, and controls for organizations.

Product design

User flows and high-fidelity UI for web and mobile, validated by real users early.

Research & synthesis

Interviews, usability testing and analytics, turned into clear decisions.

Accessibility & inclusion

Making sure everyone can use the product, regardless of their abilities.
