About

Aspiring Shaolin monk turned globally recognised UX/UI designer, influencer, founder & angel investor.

Hello! I’m Michael Wong but better known as Mizko, a founder, designer and investor.

From selling my spot in the school canteen line for $1 to launching a gaming website at 13, 'hustling' has always been in my DNA. By 16, I was deep into affiliate marketing, promoting products from ClickBank and CPA Lead, and mastering website and app design that converted users into buyers. At 18, I hit my first major milestone: a viral Facebook app that earned $300,000, enabling me to invest in real estate and support my family.

Over the next decade, I refined my UX/UI design skills at industry-leading companies like Freelancer.com (ASX: FLN) and HiPages (ASX: HPG), leading projects that impacted millions of users daily.

Then, I returned to my entrepreneurial roots, founding:

✱ Mizko Media, a 10-person UX agency that partnered with 80+ globally recognized brands (collectively raising $450M+ in venture capital) and generating over $10M in revenue before winding down in 2021.

✱ Designership, an online education platform dedicated to up-skilling designers in the industry. Within 3 years we have helped over 14,000 designers from Google, Meta, Microsoft, Disney to solo-freelancers all around the globe up-skill in their fields.

✱ More Cursors, a boutique venture studio rebranded from Mizko Media, dedicated to helping product-led founders scale their digital businesses through strategic design, branding, and execution.

As of 2024, I am primarily focused on More Cursors where my team and I incubate our own products; work alongside a small handful of ambitious clients. I am still commited to teaching and sharing my learnings with my 400K+ audience on YouTube, X, LinkedIn and Instagram, whilst constantly investing back into my online education platform Designership.

If you think we'd get along, drop me a message and let's link up. I'm always happy to bounce ideas with like minded people.
