Hello! I'm Michaela.

I’m a UX & Content Designer from the land of 10,000 lakes. I have a background in film, journalism and adaptive ski instructing. Currently, I design smart home gadgets & apps at Resideo
Offline, I like to learn Japanese, ski slopes, walk foster dogs, care for baby squirrels and make waffles. If I wasn't a designer, I'd work full-time with animals and write kids books.

Let's connect!
