Background

About Denis Michen

I’m a Lead Product Designer at ROBUS Lighting, where I focus on creating products that don’t just look good, but genuinely make a difference for the people using them. My approach is all about balancing user needs with business goals—making sure every design decision brings real value to both the customer and the company. With a background in Product Design from Maynooth University, I bring together academic foundations and hands-on industry experience. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to be recognized with honors like the HSE Spark Innovation Scholarship, which fueled my drive to combine creativity with problem-solving in meaningful ways. I thrive in collaborative environments, especially when working with global teams to take an idea from sketch to impactful product. Whether it’s leading design strategy, diving into user research, or refining the finer details, I enjoy the challenge of finding solutions that are functional, aesthetic, and market-ready.
