My name is Miklos "Miki" Barton. I'm a Hungarian designer residing and working in Zürich, Switzerland. Over the past 20 years, I have collaborated with non-profit organizations, startups, design agencies, and corporate companies throughout Europe and the US, contributing to the development of products that are used by millions on a daily basis.
Having begun my career as a developer, my approach has always been grounded in solving tangible problems with real data. Rather than focusing solely on speculative design concepts, I prioritize practical problem-solving. As a versatile designer, I enjoy challenging myself across various aspects of the design process, including user research and testing, prototyping, a touch of coding, and, of course, visual design.
When I'm not in front of a screen, I strive to spend quality time with my daughter and taking long walks with my dog.
