How I Show Up

My approach to design, collaboration, and problem-solving
Evidence Over Assumptions

I approach impossible problems with analytical rigor by challenging assumptions, testing hypotheses, and validating solutions. I don't guess; I systematically investigate until I understand the true problem beneath the symptoms.

Evidence Over Assumptions

I build teams with purpose, bringing order to chaos while nurturing each person's unique gifts. Through servant leadership, I've guided hundreds professionals through impossible transformations.

Complexity Navigation

I thrive in the messy middle where regulatory constraints, technical limitations, and human needs collide. I untangle complex workflows, conflicting stakeholder requirements, and safety protocols to find solutions that actually work in the real world, not just in theory.

Strategic Product Vision

Every complex challenge is an opportunity to create something meaningful that serves people better. I solve problems with deep understanding and deliver measurable impact with precision.

Complex Domain Expertise

I learn domain languages fluently, speaking operationally with practitioners, technically with engineers, and strategically with executives, then translate between these worlds to build alignment and drive decisive action that moves organizations forward.

Complex Domain Expertise

I thrive in regulated environments where lives depend on getting it right the first time. My healthcare expertise transforms overwhelming complexity into trustworthy experiences millions rely on

Operational Expertise

I create systematic excellence from controlled chaos, establishing processes that scale without losing the human touch. My passion for order turns ambitious visions into reliable results.

Innovation & AI

I push boundaries while staying grounded in what truly serves people. Innovation guided by wisdom creates AI-powered technology that enhances human capability rather than replaces it.

Scale & Impact Delivery

I build for millions while never forgetting the individual, creating experiences that grow exponentially without losing their soul. Every design decision improves real lives, not just metrics.

How I Think

My approach to working through complex problems

I start with hypotheses, not assumptions.
When faced with a design challenge, I formulate testable hypotheses and gather evidence before committing to solutions. I distinguish between stakeholder opinions and validated user needs.

I use data to influence, not decorate.
I've changed executive minds by presenting irrefutable research findings. I fact-check every statistic, validate every claim, and build arguments on evidence, not persuasion tricks.

I challenge my own designs ruthlessly.
I actively seek conflicting perspectives, test edge cases, and look for where my solutions might fail. I'd rather find problems in research than in production.

I translate between worlds.
I speak multiple "languages" (operational workflows with practitioners, technical constraints with engineers, business requirements with executives, regulatory compliance with legal teams) and synthesize them into coherent solutions that move everyone forward.

Portfolio Highlights

Strategic design work across complex healthcare and enterprise systems

Care in Motion

This project required navigating regulatory constraints, clinical safety requirements, cross-organizational politics, and technical limitations while keeping nursing workflows human-centered. I used systematic stakeholder alignment, evidence-based design validation, and iterative prototyping to gain buy-in from product, clinical operations, and engineering teams.

Margaret Mead observed that civilization's first sign wasn't a tool or technology, but a healed femur: evidence someone had been cared for long enough to recover. Care in Motion builds from that insight, envisioning healthcare systems that prioritize care, community, and human continuity over pure efficiency.

What People are Saying

Perspectives from team members and partners

"She killed our favorite feature idea with research findings, then designed something better that actually solved the user problem we didn't know we had.""

Director of Product Management

"Micah doesn't just accept requirements—she interrogates them with data until we're solving the real problem, not symptoms."

Product Manager

“…cross-functional partners light up when they know Micah is involved in any given project.”

Team Member

“Your ability to remain aware of what so many designers across the company are doing, awareness across so many domains and user personas, and then to also lead designs of your own is kind of mind-blowing.”

Product Manager

“Her tenacity, clarity, and ability to dive into complex problems—whether related to product, process, or people—make her an invaluable leader.”

Team Member

“Based off this experience, she helped innovate an ambient workflow to help assist and automate aspects of the intake process which has received very positive feedback and generated excitement from customers.”
