I’ve had the privilege of working with some great folks (who have said some very kind things about our working together).
Trish-Antoni Baker, UX/UI Designer
Mike's impact as a mentor, teacher, and Senior UX Researcher during his time at Lynk was nothing short of remarkable. His approach to solving complex problems, combining creativity with methodical precision, was inspiring. Notably, Mike's talent lay in his ability to dissect and communicate intricate concepts effectively. His kindness and patience while involving others in the process stood out, fostering a collaborative environment.
Availability was never an issue—Mike was always there when I sought guidance. He provided me with the autonomy to explore projects of interest while offering support. Working under his guidance, I felt both valued and supported. Mike's extensive experience and unwavering support were pivotal in shaping me into a stronger researcher. Moreover, his contributions played a crucial role in establishing the UX discipline at Lynk.
Mike's proficiency in maintaining a delicate balance between broad strategic thinking and meticulous attention to detail was truly exceptional. His enthusiasm for tackling the company's most complex challenges was palpable, yet he was equally willing to contribute to more tactical studies. Mike was truly a fun person to work with…People often tell colleagues that "I hope our paths will cross again", but with Mike I truly hope they do

Mike is a great leader and I really enjoyed working in his team! This is not only because of his systematic and functional thinking, but also he's an empathic and wise person, who always comes with a big smile and enriches you as a designer and as human being.

Working with Mike was a lot of fun. Always curious and proposing new solutions to the challenges that were presented to us. Very proactive in being able to organize the team, communicate proposals and improve everything that was needed in the event of any emergency. I would work with Mike again without a doubt.
Martin Vivas, Corporate Venture Capital senior consultant
Mike is a smart brilliant guy, whom I was lucky to meet several years ago. I shared through the years our experience as Google Experts and in the Google for startups Accelerator mentors program, and I am glad to say I learned a lots from his knowledge about service design, User Experience and mainly from his curiosity and care about the users. i hope our way wil cross again but in our own startup ;-)
Putting any more testimonials here is embarrassing, so I’ll just point you to the rest of them on LinkedIn.
