Fractional design engineer
My name is Mickael but everyone calls me Micka.
I was born in Paris, France, and now live in San Francisco, CA.
I design products with a minimalist eye to reveals meaning, amplifies what matters most, and inspire trust.
I recently founded Clarity Studio, an AI-native, taste-led, business-driven product design studio helping AI startups ship with clarity, conviction, and focus.
Before that, I worked as Design Lead at Feedly and a few YC-backed startups, most of which were acquired.
You can reach me at micka_design, or via email.
