Portrait of Mike Hakobyan

I'm a senior product designer with 9+ years of experience designing digital products and complex systems. I work across product strategy, UX design, UI, design systems, prototyping and AI-powered experiences.

Today I combine strong product design fundamentals with AI-native tools and workflows to help teams design better products and rethink how products get made.

Approach

How I work

01

I start with the product question, not the screen. Most design problems I'm brought into are really scope, model or workflow problems wearing an interface costume.

02

I prototype early and realistically, so decisions get made against something you can use rather than something you have to imagine.

03

And I use AI where it earns its place — synthesis, exploration, prototyping, repetitive production — while the product judgment stays with the team and with me.
