Michael Senkow

Hey hey!
I’m a Staff Product Designer — passionate about crafting cutting-edge complex tooling, AI workflows, and digital craft being used creatively.
Focus Time moments I’ve helped create are on millions of PCs. The Daiquery Notebook work enabled almost everyone at Meta to make decisions better with ai enabled workflows. I’ve helped build such projects as Cognos Analytics powered by Watson, early Steps of IBM’s Carbon Design system, and early days of Viva Insights.

You’re looking at a sampling of my work across tech. There’s a full list at the top and a more exploratory board option too.

Each of these cards leads to a main project from one of my eras of work.

Currently doing a revamp in code and trying to see what I can make. Check it out.

If you want a more just ‘story’ I have this figma deck that highlights the AI work specifically.
