I'm a product designer drawn to complex problems, evolving technology, and the systems behind them.
I dig into constraints, understand how the pieces connect, and design from there.

Group lesson documentation

Diabetes educators were charting after hours to keep up with group classes. I redesigned the whole session flow so it happens during class, not after.

Individual patient charting

Finding one patient detail meant clicking through five screens. I rebuilt charting around quick selects and an AI summary.

About me
Michelle Bui

I like figuring out how things work.

I'm a product designer who gets curious about what sits underneath the interface. I like understanding how people actually use a product, how the pieces behind it connect, and what constraints start to appear once an idea becomes real.

I'm also someone who learns by doing. That's how I ended up going from designing interfaces to building my own products, joining hackathons, and learning enough backend to test ideas myself.

Outside of design, I'm usually traveling somewhere new, bowling, or finding something else to get curious about.
