Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Angeles is a seasoned product and UX designer with 10+ years driving design strategy for consumer and enterprise products, currently supporting GeminiUX at Google via PRPL. He has led long-running product design efforts at Balsamiq—shaping a wireframing tool used by millions—and pioneered AI-assisted design features and internal GPTs to accelerate designer workflows. Comfortable moving between hands-on wireframes, prototypes, and design systems, he blends front-end development roots with information-architecture rigor from roles at Traction, Sling TV, and Bell Labs. Michael often partners with founders as a fractional design lead, balancing rapid concepting with measurable product outcomes. He pairs a formal background in Library & Information Science and Art History with practical experience shipping cross-platform web and desktop tools. A quietly prolific creator, he’s authored playbooks and a book on wireframing that inform the AI tools he builds to scale design knowledge across teams.
