Hey there! I’m Mikhail—a Principal Product Designer at Capital One and former D1 football player who’s all about strategy, discipline, and high-performance teamwork.

I blend deep design craft with real-world product strategy. From fintech platforms to scrappy startups, I’ve led end-to-end projects that turn messy problems into clean, intuitive solutions. I live by “smooth is fast,” so I prototype early, iterate often, and always think like a builder.

Outside the screen, I write a newsletter on how design shapes everyday life. I’ve coached athletes to sharpen their technique and now I’m here to coach designers to sharpen their craft. Expect candid feedback, actionable frameworks, and a sprinkle of humor.
