Mikkel Michelsen - Designing for Mission Critical Systems

Mikkel Michelsen takes us into the world of UX design for mission critical systems (including the F-35), where users’ lives are quite literally in the hands of the designer.

Highlights include:

⭐ Did you get to fly in an F-35?
⭐ How did it feel to design systems that had direct impact on human life?
⭐ How did you involve users in the design of mission critical systems?
⭐ How do design for the unpredictability of people in high-stress situations?
⭐ How do you manage being both a PM and a Lead UX designer?

Who is Mikkel Michelsen?

Mikkel is a Product Manager and Lead UX Designer at Systime Solutions, a division of Gyldendal, Scandinavia’s largest publisher. 

Before Systime, Mikkel was the Chief UX Designer at Danske Bank, the largest bank in Denmark. He has also held other senior design roles, such as the Head of UX at WhiteAway Group, and Lead UX Designer at eBay Scandinavia. 

But, it was Mikkel’s work at Systematic, a provider of mission critical technology solutions, that really caught my attention. During nearly 8 years there, Mikkel designed some of the critical systems within the F-35 fighter jet, as well as other defence and healthcare experiences.
