Mike Carlon

Build the right thing, then build it right.

If there’s one word that could be used to summarize me, it would be curious. I’m in my element when uncovering why people do what they do or think what they think. This curiosity fuels my passion for research, drives the plots of my novels, and informs the 20+ articles I’ve published over the years.

I cut my teeth doing User Experience (UX) research at Modem Media, the world’s first interactive agency where, during the 1990’s, I worked with clients such as Delta Air Lines, Citibank, and JCPenney to understand what consumers wanted in interactive experiences. My findings would be the springboard for website development and ensured that what the agency built was aligned with user needs. Later on in the development process, my team would come back into the picture by conducting both prototype and usability testing.

I spent some time on the client side of the business working with companies such as MasterCard and Unilever in roles with responsibilities in relationship marketing, global promotions, and market research.

I live in Stamford, CT with my wife Nicole and our college-aged triplets Grace, Patrick, and Maggie. My hobbies include running, creative writing, and performing stand-up comedy.

01. Strategic

I help my clients uncover the consumer insights that inform product development, craft compelling messaging strategies, and optimize user experiences. 

02. creative

I share the stories I uncover in written form, as video sequences, and as audio stories. I tap into my creativity as a writer to keep client audiences engaged.

03. prolific

I’m a writer at heart. In addition to the dozens of articles I’ve written for industry publications, I’m the author of eight novels and countless editorials.
