Michel was able to build a great-performing process and team of young designers. He understands that every great team needs a direction that energizes and engages its members. Establishing these conditions for the team paved the way for the team to develop a shared mindset and process, and ultimately to succeed.

Michel is a thoughtful designer and inquisitive, self-driven researcher. I can recommend Michel to anyone for analyzing complex problems, identifying key opportunities, creating, testing and iterating on design solutions.

Michel is one of the most structured, self-organizing, and methodical designers I've had the pleasure to work with. Being this early in his career, he already possesses a great amount of reflection, knows how to connect the dots and covers the whole range of hard skills of a product designer.

Michel doesn’t only make things pretty, he's also not afraid to challenge ideas and explore alternative directions. Besides that he's fast, precise and just a really nice guy to work with. Hire him before I do.

Michel is eager to learn and not afraid of new challenges. He takes on various roles within teams, helps where necessary and doesn’t see problems but opportunities. Michel isn't afraid to ask tough questions and doesn't make assumptions.
