Mike Terpeza
UI Designer
I design interfaces that are clear, accessible, and built to actually
ship — with a focus on healthcare UX, design systems, and the handoff
between design and code.
Designing with intention.
My background sits at the intersection of visual design and
front-end thinking. I came up building things — so I understand
what it takes to hand off a design that developers can actually
implement. That informs everything: component structure, spacing
systems, edge cases, states.
Lately I've been drawn to healthcare and clinical UI — spaces
where accessibility isn't a checkbox, it's the whole job. WCAG
2.2, cognitive load, high-density information architecture. I find
the constraints clarifying.
Outside of product work, I'm a painter and mixed-media artist.
