I really enjoyed the time I spent working with Michi at Totom. She is a phenomenal artist and does a great job in breaking down her work to be very easily converted into a website. She has strong attention to detail. I enjoyed navigating her carefully detailed sketch files and rising to the expectations needed to make her work look just as good in production as it did in her mock ups. Besides being talented Michi is a fun person to be around. I hope I have an opportunity to work with her again in the future. She is an asset to any team.

Do yourself a favor: Get Michi Muzyka in to work on your design. She has exceptional design chops combined with excellent collaboration and communications skills. I had the pleasure of watching her create, and viewing the fine outputs, on no less than three visual identities and design systems for new products. In addition, I worked with Michi on implementing two of these systems, and collaborating with her was both a instructive, for me, and exciting in terms of the end results.
