About me

As a Product Designer, I’ve lead cross-functional teams and projects to success by being transparent about my processes, having thoughtful communication and not being afraid to show what worked and what didn't. I’m a nerd about design systems and cross-functional collaboration.

I have a passion for purpose-driven design. By improving the connection between people and the products they use, I solve problems and create intuitive, engaging experiences across web and mobile platforms. Let’s use the power of design to make the world better!

Diving into Design Tokens: a Q&A with Product Designer Michelle Harvancik

What people are saying

“Michelle is someone you should take note of. She has the ambition to take projects to the next level. I had the pleasure of working with her on a collaborative UX project, and her work was imaginative, on point, and top notch. The best part about Michelle is that after our review sessions, she took her work to a new level, showing that she can listen and grow. I highly recommend her.”

— Jonathan, UX Lead at StreamSets

“Michelle was a pleasure to work with. I had the opportunity to have Michelle as the lead UX designer on several of my projects. She killed it. I was also always impressed with how effortlessly she would capture the feedback from users/clients/me, and implement the changes into the designs. Count yourself lucky if you get a chance to work with her!”

— Roman, Product Director at Ventive

“Michelle is one of the most professional, upbeat, and optimistic people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She constantly strives to achieve excellence by performing high quality work and is a creative genius, which helps her complete tasks/ assignments in a prompt manner.”
