About
I'm a Lead UX/Product Designer with 17+ years of experience. Currently working at the Financial Times in London, I've built my design career in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles working across various industries (B2C and B2B). While remaining a hands-on product designer, I've built and led design teams for more than six years.
UX and digital design being my passion, I frequently write articles about design, speak at design events, and mentor up-and-coming product designers (with nearly ten thousand followers between Medium, LinkedIn, and Twitter).

Miklos has been a fantastic mentor since day one. In the relatively short space of time he's been mentoring me my knowledge and understanding of UX has come on leaps and bounds. His explanation is always detailed, but clear and concise. The material Miklos sends after our calls is always super helpful as well. Highly recommended!
