Biography
Hi! I’m Michelle, a thoughtful and experienced product designer, researcher, and design mentor.
But you probably knew most of that already, so here’s something new:
I was born and raised in Detroit, MI. I can make my own clothes. I enjoy sculpture and museums and cooking recipes from all corners of the world.
More to the point, I build lasting, honest client relationships on a strong foundation of trust, transparency, and mutual respect. I live and breathe your company's goals, and your success is my success.
I’m driven by a voracious curiosity while creating engaging experiences that seamlessly meet the needs of users, while keeping business goals top of mind. I also create visual designs and branding identities that cut straight to the heart of who you are, and what you stand for.
And my deep content strategy experience is your bonus – I infuse content strategy needs and best practices into every design I create.
Sound good to you? Let’s make something great together!
