About michael jefferson

Director, User Experience at Google

Hi,

I'm Michael and I have over fifteen years of experience leading creative, multi-disciplinary teams from idea to launch of digital products for healthcare, communication, finance and most recent, place discovery and directions with Google Maps. I'm fortunate to have spent the past decade-plus learning from visionaries and pioneers at NYU, frog, RGA, Fjord, BofA and Google. I'm inspired to help others in the UX community at early stages or transitions in careers.

What mentees say

“MJ is such a delight to speak with! We spoke about job search strategies and this is what I learned: - Ask for informational interviews with designers working in companies you love. Show your passion for the space and ask for perspective. - Reach out to recruiters with one or two hooks in the first sentence. - Do some research on VC funding to find startups in the space you love.”

“Michael was able to zero-in on my questions and provide insightful and actionable feedback and advice. I walked away with a page full of notes and a lot to ponder on as I take his feedback and apply it to my day-to-day. His perspective is bolstered by his depth and breadth of experience and further amplified by his passion in helping those around him.”
