A little bit about me

I'm Mike Kravanja. A product manager by day and self proclaimed creator by night.

I grew up in the service industry working in restaurants, camps, and hospitals. From those experiences, I was able to find an intersection between what I like doing and what I am good at: creating exceptional experiences.

That journey took me on a career path to Product Management, which let me work on a multitude of products in different with the same goal in mind: learn about my customers, find what they love, and provide the best experience to keep them coming back (albeit this time with technology).

Now Based in Brooklyn NY, I've been inspired by the creative atmosphere to expand my resume and work on creative projects that I love: including this website, mobile apps, and sharing my experiences with others.

Outside of work, I'm an avid runner, reader, dog dad, indoor plant enthusiast, and a diehard Mets fan.

If you're interested in learning more about me or my work, I'd love to connect.
