Mike is the most proficient interactive VR designer on the ████████ team. He has combined a traditional UX background with rapid prototyping very high fidelity interactions, visuals, and animations. Where other designers rely on hand gestures, sketches, and verbal descriptions, Mike can come up with a creative idea and then show you exactly how it will look and feel. This is extremely useful for making discoveries on what actually works and what doesn't as the team explores an entirely brand new territory for design.

I can't speak enough to Mike's impact on this project - from fleshing out the biggest concepts to the smallest details of ████████. He has used his wide range of skillsets to create mocks, high-fidelity visuals, motion examples, and fully-functioning prototypes. Additionally, he has endured an abnormally long crunch period, dutifully filing bugs and working closely with ENG to improve the implementation.

I have been very impressed with Mike's work on ████████ and I believe that many of the techniques that are being explored here are going to be as important to VR as physics based scrolling was to mobile. This is one of the fundamental things that the system absolutely has to get perfectly right.

Mike does an excellent job of showing instead of simply telling his ideas. He does so through the most appropriate medium, whether that be a simple sketch, 2d motion graphic, or a fully interactive prototype.

Mike is a consistent contributor of design proposals - and is able to wear many hats, from video production, to detailed design spec creation. He is always willing to help the team, and is a pleasure to work with. I hope to collaborate more with Mike in the future, as he has many good insights.

Mike is highly effective at articulating design visions that address user needs and feedback. He employs paper sketches, storyboards, videos, digital mocks, and functional prototypes to articulate his vision and get feedback. His process ensures greater confidence in his designs' ability to satisfy user needs of the product.
