Mike McMillan is a design engineer based in Denver
I'm a design engineer focused on UI craft, performance, and polish. I build thoughtful, accessible interfaces, scale design systems, and obsess over the details that make websites feel intuitive and delightful.
Currently, I’m a Principal Developer and Interactive Designer at One Design Company, where I bridge the gap between design and development. In this hybrid design engineering role, I guide projects from concept to launch — ensuring every interface is accessible, performant, polished, and delightful to use.
Previously, I was part of the product design team at the Noun Project, where we laid the foundation for the product and grew the team.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Colorado by hiking, snowboarding, and playing with my chocolate lab, .
