Recommendations mentioning communication.

I have had the pleasure of working with Michael for over a year at Cactus Communications, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional product designer with a broad knowledge of design and development of digital products. He is a team player who is always eager to work with others to turn an idea into reality. Additionally, Michael is motivated by the goal of building great products that solve real-world problems for users, and he is always looking for ways to measure and test the effects of product changes on user behavior. Michael's background in social science gives him a deep understanding of human behavior and how to create engaging digital products. In his current role as a senior product designer at Cactus Communications, Michael has led the design for a web and Word add-in that enhances the writing experience for academic authors worldwide. His skills in ideation and brainstorming, proof-of-concept development, requirements definition, and working with product managers are outstanding. Beyond his technical skills and expertise, Michael is a joy to work with. He is an engaging, collaborative, and straightforward person who is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the success of a project. I have no doubt that he will be an asset to any team.

I've had the privilege of working with Michael on a number of projects at Mobilethink. He shows extensive care for the user experience and has an eye for simplistic design that communicates well to all. In addition to being an absolute pleasure to work with, Michael has a great sense of humor and makes any place joyous.
