Hi! I'm Michael.
A Product Designer. Passionate about HCI, data visualization, UX design, and qualitative collection.
A little about who I am...
Surfer, paddleboarder, entrepreneur, start-up-junkie...
Industrial designer, trained Italian marble sculptor, furniture designer, and painter. Portfolio
As a connoisseur of espresso, I bow to the complexity of pulling the perfect shot.
Bellissimo!
A storyteller and public speaker on transformation, meditation, and achieving inner calm.
Professional Deeper Dive:
Over the past 2 years, I have spearheaded the formation of a Lean UX team at Adaptive Biotechnologies, enhancing the functionality of a suite of frontend systems crucial for Mira-Genetic Experiments in the MRD sector by implementing a lean UX research methodology, which integrates simple modern qualitative tools. This has significantly boosted user efficiency and product usability. Adaptive Biotechnologies is at the forefront of immune medicine, harnessing a unique approach to decode each person’s “immune story” to advance the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
With a robust background spanning 20 years in brand, product design, and UX, I've held pivotal roles including Interactive Design Director at Yahoo and Co-Creative Director at Time Warner, where I focused on monetized solutions, product R&D, and development. As a versatile designer skilled in 3D design, and product management, and a certified SCRUM Master, I have consistently driven innovation across various industries.
Looking ahead, I am passionately exploring the application of AR and Mixed Reality (XR/UX) in the military and medical fields. I am actively enhancing my skills in Unity UX Design & Prototyping, specifically for XR-based user experiences.

Personal:
I am a passionate paddleboarder and surfer, frequenting the waters from the Pacific Northwest to Hawaii. Raised in a family dedicated to the U.S. Navy, I have had the unique opportunity to live across the coastal seaboard of the United States, as well as in Puerto Rico and Italy. My profound love for the ocean extends to scuba diving, marine life, and environmental conservation, and I actively support organizations like Sea Shepherd that protect our seas. In addition to my environmental pursuits, I am an admirer of James Gandolfini Jr. I've even created a filmography infographic celebrating his remarkable career, which spanned 38 nominations and 19 awards—a testament to his enduring legacy in film.
