Hi, my name is Emmanuel Michael, and I am an accomplished user experience designer, user researcher, and product strategist. With a deep passion for crafting exceptional user-centered experiences, I have worked with companies of diverse sizes and stages to create outstanding products or optimize existing ones. As a seasoned Senior Product Designer at Nomba, I lead design initiatives for micro-enterprises, leveraging my expertise in designing intuitive interfaces and driving user engagement. In 2020, I co-founded Design Yard People, a thriving design-focused community designed to provide young designers with an opportunity to learn, network, and grow in their craft. As a testament to our unwavering commitment to mentorship and knowledge-sharing, we have had over 200 participants who have since secured top tech jobs. With extensive experience in public speaking and leading design workshops, I am a sought-after expert in design and communication. In addition, I host a widely acclaimed podcast titled "Off-Time with Walkaholic," where we explore various social, cultural, and personal issues impacting young individuals beyond the design industry. I pride myself on my unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional design solutions, and I am passionate about empowering young designers to develop and hone their craft.
