Hello, I’m Michelle. With 10 years experience in the design and environmental space, I use my skills to create attention-grabbing campaigns, inspire action and bring people together. For me, it’s all about bold ideas rooted in real-world insight.

I enjoy collaborating with clients and other creatives who share these values.

  • "Michelle took the time and care needed to really get to know my business, the audience and its goals. Michelle’s designs were perfect for what I was after; slick and friendly, unlike anything else in the category. I highly recommend Michelle as a designer to any small business owner."

    Rebecca Wetten, Founder of Catch

  • "Collaborating with Michelle was a joy, she took the time to get to know the world, the characters, and me to create illustrations that went further and better than I had imagined.”

    Ross Homdon, Co-Author, Athena and the Golden Rose

  • "Working with Michelle was a delight. Having a designer who understood the vision behind the project, and the skills to create a stunning poster, was an experience I would recommend."

    Alex Turnbull, Executive Producer X64 Films

  • "I use Michelle every year to design new artwork and posters for my latest theatre show. I often only have a vague idea of what I want, but Michelle always asks all the right questions to help both me and her understand what I’m looking for. I’m always amazed at her creativity and how well she understands both my vision but also the comedy and theatre market that I operate in."
