The biggest problem when hiring a product or UX/UI designer is that, 99% of them haven’t built a business before...

So how can they help you design a product, that’s best for your business?

Because let's be honest.

You’re reading this because you ultimately care about driving business results.

  • Generating more revenue.
  • Increasing conversion rates.
  • Reducing churn and drop-offs.

The list goes on...

Reality is that, 99% of designers don’t know what the difference between gross and net profits are.

They care more about how round a button is, than your bottom line.

Word is that "most designers love high burn rates" because they think it means... their ideas are on fire.

But luckily for you, I love business and I’ve also been designing for over 15 years.

I work at the intersect of design, growth and business.

I’ve designed and built multiple 7-figure businesses, whilst also helping 80+ founders go-to-market, scale and ultimately get acquired.

A few notable projects include:

With over 15 years of experience, launching my own viral Facebook apps generating $300K at 16, leading strategy and design for some of Australia’s household startup names to scaling my own businesses to multiple 7-figures.

Working alongside me means, I apply everything I’ve learnt to helping your product go-to-market and scale with a track-record of proven methods and strategies.

As a side note, I've also built an audience of over 400K, including YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Instagram and my monthly newsletter.

Michael and his team are an amazing outfit at bringing Products to life and driving great customer experience. I've used them across my work at both Freelancer and Hipages and they always deliver top notch results.

We’ve essentially more than doubled (200%) upgrades and grew MRR by 30%. Best week in sales ever and traffic had a huge spike. I love it when a good plan comes together. Without Michael and his team, we wouldn’t have been able to reach the level of growth that we’re reaching now. They have been fantastic in helping us define and align business goals to the work they produce. Everything the team works towards is informed by clear business goals and that is what I love about them.

I have worked with Mizko and his team for the past year on a strategic UX/UI project which is currently being rolled out. Their ability to articulate wireframes into visual designs is excellent and the improvements in ROI to date are meaningful and once fully delivered will provide a solid platform from which to grow our business.

Michael is a creative genius, he's dynamic, proactive, and motivated to help his clients. His work on eChoice's broker CRM platform has allowed us to take eChoice to the next level. Michael understood a very complex brief, and brought our ideas to life. I look forward to working with Michael and his team again the near future.

Michael showed the rare combination of excellent creative sensibilities and professional reliability. Too often I find designers and developers who are unreliable or unresponsive, and Michael was the complete opposite. He met their deadlines time after time, and he provided regular updates to keep us apprised of his progress. Michael was a pleasure to work with, and we hope to do so again.

Michael Wong made my website around 3 years ago. We are still using it today and extremely happy with the design. Also it has held up to design changes/trends. One of the best things about the whole experience is that it felt really straight forward and simple.

Michael is a gifted designer - that is clear from his portfolio site and work. What sets him apart is the fact that he is also an extremely gifted front-end developer. One of few true web design "unicorns", Michael isdeeply knowledgable, he's flexible, and he's way fun to work with. He delivered outstanding work - polished, beautifully designed and well-executed responsive web content - for Adobe... And we can't wait to work with him again!
