I build for the web
Simple, useful, and built with care
About Me
Hi! I'm Mikel.
I've always been interested in technology and the creative potential of the web.
Today I design and develop web projects focused on simplicity, usability, and a clear, intuitive experience.
I also hold the Google UX Design Certificate, which reinforced my human-centered approach and accessible design.
This portfolio brings together personal projects, experiments, and continuous learning.
