REFERRALS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Miguel, led a future state vision exercise for me to define the user interface for our senior management across a core business decision. He was able to rapidly understand the business domain and orchestrate a large team to extract the requirements across a diverse range of people both in seniority and global distribution. The design team ran weekly show and tells to the senior management team and the end result was a piece of work that will steer our direction for years to come. I highly recommend his skills in designing user interfaces to meet user expectations while extracting requirements that users were not able to express or knew they had.

I've worked with Miguel for 10 years, initially at Sapient / Publicis and then at Excelian Luxoft Financial Services. He is an outstanding design leader and someone I would highly recommend. He has extensive knowledge of Financial Services and I continue to be impressed with how Miguel champions design thinking to bring together clients and stakeholders, align ideas and push innovation.

He has the ability to transform/shape design teams, bring the best out of individuals and generate a buzz that creates some of the best UX teams I've been part of and seen. He is a fantastic influencer and his friendly, infectious and passionate approach makes him a massive asset to any organisation.

His deep knowledge of the field, attention to detail and passion for innovation makes him not settle for any solution. He will always challenge to get the best outcomes and strive for exceptional experiences.
