Michael Ringseis | UX Design, Visual Design, Motion Design

I am a user-centric, results focused user experience (UX) designer specializing in digital storytelling.

Specializing in brand marketing and advertising with experience as a leader on several award winning, enterprise brand re-designs with Oracle and Splunk, I excel at uniting brand design, user experience design, user interface design and motion design with strategy rooted in user-data and best practices.

Michael is a highly skilled interactive designer who quickly distinguished himself as one of the most capable designers on Oracle’s Brand Interactive team. With a wide range of abilities in his toolkit, from UX and UI to motion design, I knew I could depend on him to consistently deliver exceptional experiences. Always an outspoken design thinker, Michael is adept at justifying his design decisions with careful consideration. He is an effective communicator in project meetings, able to speak to team members and stakeholders alike with confidence and tact. Demonstrating versatility across multiple teams and projects, Michael sets a great example for the type of multifaceted collaborator I always look for in a designer. I believe he would be a valuable asset and key contributor to the long-term success of any digital team.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Michael for 1.5 years, during which we collaborated on several high-profile design projects at Oracle. I was very impressed with Michael’s ability to translate business requirements into engaging web experiences through thoughtful visual design and expertise in motion design. He’s also a genuinely caring and open person, who’s quick to share his knowledge of all the best lunch spots in the Financial District! Michael would be a great asset for any company looking for an experienced design leader.
