Hi! My name is Michelle! I am a graphic designer, art director, world traveler, and concert-goer. Inspired by fashion, architecture, and pop culture, I thrive as a visual communicator and problem-solver, particularly in the realms of brand development, advertising, and marketing. I won two American InHouse Design Awards from Graphic Design USA in July 2022 for my advertising campaigns. Whether I'm engrossed in doodling, exploring fonts, or curating my attire based on my chosen pair of sunglasses, creativity is at the forefront of my daily life.
Proficient in the entire Adobe Suite, Procreate, and Figma, I actively engage in design, photography, and illustration. Complementing my Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design, I hold certifications in Graphic Design Leadership and Website Development. Beyond the design world, you'll likely find me sipping coffee, doodling away, or immersing myself in new locales—perhaps even catching the latest Harry Styles concert in town!

Having embarked on my journey in photography since high school, my passion for the medium has flourished over the years. My trusty Nikon is a constant companion, accompanying me wherever I go as I eagerly seize every opportunity to capture moments through my lens.
My designs bear the unmistakable imprint of my passion for illustration, a dynamic element that infuses vibrancy into my work. I have a penchant for seamlessly integrating my drawings into various graphics, whether in the form of animations or on websites, creating a unique and engaging
visual narrative.
My enthusiasm for photography has sparked a keen interest in Photoshop, where I find pleasure in utilizing tools such as the clone stamp, patch tool, and adjustment layers. Over time, this software has evolved into one of my preferred and go-to tools in my creative repertoire.
I've recently developed a keen interest in digital illustration, a realm that complements my longstanding love for drawing. The allure lies in the ease of digital corrections compared to traditional methods. The pen tool, in particular, has proven to be a game-changer in this digital artistic journey.
