Hello!
My name is Mike Young, a product designer helping B2B and SaaS brands connect their promises with meaningful product experiences.
I’m at my best when I’m bringing clarity to complexity — whether it’s untangling messy problems, aligning cross-functional teams, or designing thoughtful solutions that serve both users and the business.
I’ve taken startups from zero to launch, built design systems from scratch, stumbled plenty, and learnt that great designs can only be measured by their results.
Design principles
These principles aren’t just ideals; they shape how I work, make tough decisions, and stay aligned when things get messy.
Curiosity first
When we ask instead of assume, we learn — and learning unlocks insight, alignment, and momentum.
Form after function
If a design doesn’t serve the user, it doesn’t matter how good it looks. Meet their needs, then make it beautiful.
Ship, then shape
Great products aren’t born perfect, they evolve. Ship early, learn fast, refine through feedback, and respond to what works.
Candid, not careless
When we avoid hard truths, we trade progress for politeness. But if we lose rapport, we lose each other. The tough conversations require strong relationships.
Let’s connect
Open to new opportunities, collaborations, and conversations.
