Hi there, I'm Michael Edelnant.

I design products people keep coming back to. Then I help build them.

Open to senior design and design leadership roles

I take products from first sketch to shipped build. I've designed fast-moving, data-heavy apps and games for EA, Glu, STATS, FanDuel and a studio I co-founded, and I work in the code to help ship them.
