You needed a UX designer and came to the right place.

Hi, I’m Mike Larson.

With 6 years of design experience, I bring a sense of levity and compassion that teams can get behind. I’m a creative problem solver who loves to help people.

Currently, I’m most excited by joining the Board of Directors for UXPA-MN as their first ever Director of Digital Media and Live Events.

In addition to being a UX designer, I am also an Illustrator. If you see it on this site, I made it. I’m excited to work with you!

Here’s what I can do for you, and how I’d do it.
