About Mike Gorrell
Design Lead at Asana
I'm just a guy from Chicago who sometimes feels like he fell his way backwards into Product Design (industry secret: everyone feels this way). I started my career working at a church, moved my way into graphic design, and now do product design work that is used by hundreds of millions of people every day. I love what I get to do for work, but someday I also want to open up a coffee shop that also sells Vespa scooters. It's kind of a weird dream, I know.
