Hi, I am Michael Kriegshauser
I'm an award-winning multidisciplinary design leader with over 15 years of experience in shaping impactful, human-centered experiences at Fortune 500 companies like IBM, Oracle, and Dell. Currently, I lead the creative direction for IBM Quantum, where I envision the future of quantum computing through innovative product, web, and brand design. I build cross-functional design teams and drive large-scale, enterprise-level projects that deliver business value and user satisfaction.
From pioneering the Oracle.com design system to spearheading the creation of IBM Quantum’s brand and immersive experiences, I’ve consistently combined strategic vision with creative excellence, earning recognition from prestigious awards like the Red Dot, Webby, and D&AD. I thrive on collaborating across disciplines and teams, whether it's designing immersive installations for IBM Quantum or leading the development of user-centric e-commerce platforms at Dell.
With a diverse background spanning product, brand, experiential, and industrial design, I bring a holistic approach to solving complex design challenges and envisioning the next generation of user experiences.
