About Me


Hi, I’m Michael Parkin, a graduate of the Human-Computer Interaction Master’s program at Georgia Tech, where I specialized in Product Design & Development. Prior to my master's, I earned a degree in Digital Arts from the University of the Witwatersrand, one of the top universities in Africa.
Through all of this I discovered my passion for crafting exceptional user experiences. From UX design, to front-end development, and even game design. I'm excited to delve deeper into the field and to work alongside like-minded individuals to create innovative, accessible, and engaging digital experiences.
Beyond the design world you'll often find me immersed in board games, video games, and capturing moments through photography.
