Hi. I'M
Michaelvincent.
PRODUCT DESIGNER & STORYTELLER
Over the course of my career to bring product concepts to life across Microsoft ERP, Cloud Services, and the Office Suite of products, I’ve fluidly spanned all aspects of the design discipline (UX engineer, interaction design, visual, motion, research, content strategist, writer). With this perspective I’ve come to realize building great things at scale isn’t just about defining and creating new and exciting ideas, it takes a passion for internalizing complex, challenging problems and capitalizing on creative synthesis. It’s about designing comprehensive interaction and experiential systems that feel intuitive and natural.
I work to synthesize large-scale product solutions and strategize and execute on how to simplify them and make them work even better, together.
