Michael is an inspiring tech innovator and service designer. I’ve gotten to know him as an exceptionally energetic, open-minded and creative person.
The problems we worked on were as wide-ranging as uncovering latent user needs and market opportunities in the US as well as finding new service-driven business opportunities in a highly-iterative sprint approach.
I consider him to be a true team player and have come to greatly value his humorous, pleasant, and supportive influence on his co-workers.
