Hi, I’m Michael Eisen

Past

My experience in the tech industry has spanned 10+ years, starting with my undergraduate studies. These studies focused on business, management information systems, and psychology. I completed 3 co-ops and took jobs where I was an analyst in many forms, including marketing, business, data, SEO, and emerging technologies. I also explored entrepreneurship via a hospitality startup and my own automotive detailing company. I enjoyed examining how businesses work and wanted to become a business analyst to document and improve processes. However, I soon realized that my true passion lay in human interactions with technology. This revelation led me to the University of Washington (UW), where I earned a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction and Design. During my time at UW, I learned the end-to-end design process and refined my ability to think critically about design decisions.

Present

For the past 3+ years, I have been a UX Design Consultant at Think Company, working closely with teams at a Fortune 50 company to translate complex user processes into simple, intuitive workflows that improve user and business outcomes. I enjoy working with clients to foster cross-functional communication, adopting research-driven approaches to address problems appropriately, strategizing design-driven product improvements, and bringing products to life through detailed specifications and prototypes.

Future

In the future, I’d like to join a company where I can sink my teeth into complex problems with a passionate group of people. Ideally, this company would have a collaborative, design-driven, and end-user-focused product culture.
