Mike has advised some of the world’s largest brands on digital technology and UX design including Meta, iRobot, Kelley Blue Book, and NETGEAR.

Earlier this year, Mike’s team launched Perception, a new AI tool for designers that translates emotive words to color palettes and vice versa. By using proprietary machine learning models, Perception inspires designers with endless color combinations that are effective in communicating emotional intent. This ground-breaking product has been in research & development for three years and has 3 patents pending. Perception is driving forward tools and research to better understand the relationship between language and design.
