It all begins with an idea.
Hi, I’m Michelle!
As a former biology major and law student but with a passion for creativity, my approach to design is equal parts art and technical, blending creativity with user-centered principles and cutting-edge technology. I believe that great design should not only look beautiful but also resonate with users on a profound level.
When I’m not working, I could be found cuddling with my frenchie and my husband, most likely reading a book, or watering my mini jungle.
Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!
