I build structured product systems at the intersection of architecture, AI, and technology

Michael Carter craft strategic design

About Me

I partner with early-stage founders to structure complex products; defining strategy, architecting UX systems, and designing AI-enabled tools that are built to scale.

Architecture is the lens I bring into tech. After 15 years leading complex built environment projects at firms like Gensler and Beyer Blinder Belle, I now apply that same systems thinking to digital products: managing layered constraints, coordinating across disciplines, and turning ambiguity into something buildable.

I'm also the founder of Dado, an AI-enabled career alignment platform for built environment professionals; which means I'm not just consulting on 0→1 products, I'm actively building one.
