SENIOR HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGNER & DESIGN LEADER

I design high-stakes enterprise tools, from discovery through delivery.

I’m Michael Grossman, a senior product and UX designer with 20+ years of experience turning complex platforms into intuitive experiences. I’ve designed trading tools supporting $220 billion in daily FX volume, built UX practices and design systems from scratch at UBS and Bessemer Trust, and created an advisor workstation that saves each advisor 100+ hours a year. Today, I design AI-enabled experiences, including proactive insights and agentic research, that help professionals make better decisions while keeping people in control. I lead the work hands-on, from research through delivery, and I’m trusted by CEOs to present to executive boards, turning user insights into strategy that shapes roadmaps and priorities. What drives me is understanding how people think and work, and designing experiences that make a real difference.

Executive Storytelling

I’m Michael, a human-centered designer who turns complex, high-stakes work into tools experts love to use. I lead the research, design the work myself, and translate what I learn into strategy for executive teams. Lately, I’m exploring how Agentic AI can help people work smarter without losing the human touch.
