Hi, I'm Michael Park,
a product manager & designer.
I transform emerging technologies
from concept to reality
— from a wildfire detection AI in California
to a blockchain venture by Korea's largest search engine.
From quantitative consulting to product leadership, I've driven innovation at Amazon, PwC, and Neustar, while spearheading two ventures from zero to one.
Today, I help businesses reimagine end-to-end human experiences through product strategy, user research, high-fidelity UX design & branding.

Design Approaches
In designing novel solutions with emerging technologies,
Data-Informed Design,
Not Data-Driven
To build sustainable product value, don't overlook high-value user behaviors in favor of isolated raw metrics.
Strategic Patterns,
Not Universal Design
Prioritize serving power users' needs by identifying and scaling usage patterns into features that align with business goals.
Repeat Behaviors,
Not the First Use
Design to reward mastery and skill progression while maintaining clear pathways to resources for new users.
