Kassie Paulin

UX Designer at Workday

Michael is an excellent designer and pure joy to work with. He enters every workday with enthusiasm, a can-do attitude and unparalleled creativity. His attention to detail, innovative thinking and overall expertise make him an indispensable asset for any team. On top of his top-notch technical skills, Michael is humble and kind, always has a smile on his face and is wonderful to have as a collaborator and friend.

Alonso Velasquez

Product Management | Google

Michael led the design of CX Unity, from the kickoff Michael displayed deep user empathy, especially for the non-technical users. Michael has always been a breath of fresh air in feature discussions. He always reminded everyone that just because a CMO likes a feature, that doesn’t mean the CMO’s team will find it easy to use. I recommend Michael's leadership at any UX organization, especially those looking to bring the focus to customers.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael on the design team at PagerDuty, where he consistently stood out as a thoughtful collaborator on our design team. He brings a strong platform-level perspective to his work, always thinking about how individual experiences fit into the bigger picture. I was particularly impressed with his ability to blend strategic thinking with a keen eye for detail, often incorporating moments of delight that elevated the overall user experience. I learned a great deal from working alongside Michael, and I'm confident he would be an outstanding addition to any team.
