I’m a UX and service design leader with nearly three decades of experience helping organizations solve complex customer and business problems. I’ve built design teams and practices, coached designers and managers, and led enterprise transformation work at companies including Amazon and Charles Schwab.
I help UX professionals move beyond producing deliverables and become stronger problem framers, facilitators, strategic partners, and leaders.
I can help you:
• Prepare for UX leadership and management roles
• Strengthen your portfolio, résumé, and interview stories
• Transition from senior designer to design leader
• Build influence without relying on formal authority
• Navigate difficult stakeholders and organizational politics
• Apply service design to complex enterprise problems
• Develop practical AI workflows for research, strategy, and communication
• Create a realistic career plan when you feel stuck or uncertain
My mentoring style is supportive, candid, and practical. We won’t spend our time discussing UX theory in the abstract. We’ll work through the real challenges in front of you, identify what is holding you back, and turn that insight into concrete actions.
I’m especially well suited for experienced designers, new managers, and professionals moving into UX or service design from adjacent fields.
If you want to become more confident, strategic, and intentional about the next stage of your career, I’d be glad to help.

What's included in the trial?
Every trial is a little different – here's what Mike says about their trial:
During your 7-day trial, we’ll meet for a focused 20-minute conversation to:
• Clarify your primary career or leadership goal
• Identify the most important challenge holding you back
• Determine where my experience can help
• Agree on the focus and cadence of our mentorship
You’ll leave with a clear starting point and proposed next steps. Detailed portfolio, résumé, or work reviews begin after the monthly mentorship starts.
