Portrait of Mike Based in New York

hi, i'm mike.

I’m a designer in New York working across UX/UI and brand. I have a BFA in Graphic Design from NYIT and I’m finishing my MA in UI/UX there this December.

I’ve designed a gift-giving product at Gratis Intelligence, built visual identities at ColorbrandNYC and made event materials for CITYarts. Whatever the project, I start with research and test with real people.

UX/UI design

Research, user flows and prototypes for web and mobile.

Brand identity

Visual identity systems built from brand strategy.

Graphic design

Layouts, typography and event materials.
