About
Turning complexity into clarity.
I'm a product designer who loves untangling complexity. My background spans visual arts, technology, and years of front-line customer experience, a mix that pushes me to design solutions that are genuinely usable, accessible, and considerate.
Most recently I've been designing for enterprise security, where clarity and trust matter more than ever. Outside of work you'll find me drawing, listening to music, cooking, or on a walk with my dogs, Murphy and Novo.

Partner Design Director, Microsoft Security · Microsoft Purview
I've had the pleasure of working with Braden Miller for almost two years as a product designer on my Microsoft Security team, and I've consistently appreciated the way he brings ownership, product judgment, and a customer-centered mindset to his work.
Braden has made strong product contributions across Microsoft Purview, where complex security and compliance scenarios require designers who can balance customer needs, technical constraints, and product clarity. He has helped shape experiences that make difficult concepts easier to understand and act on, while partnering thoughtfully with PM, engineering, research, and content design along the way.
Over the past year, I've especially valued Braden's proactive leadership in driving my team's accessibility KPI. He did not wait for accessibility to be treated as a checklist or a late-stage review item. He helped keep it visible, actionable, and connected to the quality of the product experience. That kind of ownership matters because it improves the work, strengthens the team's habits, and helps create more inclusive products for customers.
What stands out about Braden is his steady commitment to improving both the product and the process around it. He is thoughtful, dependable, and willing to take on work that benefits the broader team, not just his immediate feature area. He brings curiosity to ambiguous problems, follows through on commitments, and helps create momentum around the right customer outcomes.
I recently recommended Braden for an overdue promotion because I believe his impact, ownership, and growth have earned that recognition. He is a strong product designer, a trusted teammate, and someone I've been grateful to have on my team.
