Mikkel Michelsen’s Summary

I have 10+ years of practical experience designing user interfaces for advanced and complex digital solutions, specializing in frictionless designs for specialised users in business/mission critical systems.

I have pioneered multiple groundbreaking interaction designs for finance, industrial, healthcare and defence use, and I have been involved in the user experience design of 100+ desktop/mobile applications and 150+ websites, in addition til numerous other digital solutions for various platforms.

I have the capacity to enter both large scale projects and enjoy designing hands-on, covering multiple aspects of user experience design myself. I can design quick-and-dirty prototypes, as well as enter the high documentation requirements of CMMI and Agile software development organisations.

In the future, I would like to bring value to some new & exciting digital product. :-)
