Hi, I am Mikey :)

I am a creative UX designer from the Isle of Man, with an MA in User Experience Design and a BA in Visual communication. I am currently working as a UX/UI designer for Uniphy, one of the leading creators of 3D Smart-surface technology.

I am interested in how people's behaviours differentiate and how those from different demographics interact with products. I have a strong desire to improve user experiences.

Art History

  • I have a keen interest in Art History, with Keith Haring being one of my favourite artists due to his work in the LGBTQIA+ community and his popular cultural referencing.

  • Dadaism is one of my favourite movements for its break away from normality and humour, this is because of its unique and challenging perspective.

  • Whilst living on the IOM I attended creativity meetings lead by the Sayle gallery and helped establish ways to improve and bring more people into art.

Rugby

  • I actively play for Leeds Hunters RFC in the Inclusive Gay Rugby League.

  • I have played rugby since I was 13 and have played for a variety of different clubs

  • I enjoy the connections and friendships that are made through this and often introduce new people to Rugby and IGR.

LGBTQIA+

  • I assisted in the graphical design and promotion of one of the Isle of man’s first LQBTQIA+ events.

  • I am currently organising an IGR tournament on the isle of man; this is to increase the visibility of LGBT rugby on the island and to change the cultural attitude around the inclusivity of Manx rugby.
