Hello, I’m Mike Rohde.

I design software, experiences, and services, using a human-centered approach. I seek to understand what users need, so I can design things that are useful and delightful for them.

Teacher.
I lead online and in-person workshops that teach people sketchnoting techniques and build their confidence.
Speaker.

Illustrator.
I help authors communicate ideas visually in their books. My work appears in the New York Times bestseller, REWORK and REMOTE, The $100 Startup and The Little Book of Talent. I like to communicate ideas through custom illustrations.
