My APPROACH

Collaborate with people making a positive impact.

Use research, knowledge and understanding to inform ideas, but never ignore gut feelings.

Be unexpected and bold to cut through the noise and connect with audiences.

Copy and design go hand-in-hand.

Take play seriously.

Be thoughtful, calm and intentional.

Take time to break down complex problems, then deliver at pace.

I’ve been Working with…

The logo of Netflix with a gray eye symbol and the word 'Netflix' beneath it, partly obscured by a black overlay.
The logo of the We The Future Group, featuring stylized black text.
A black and white illustration of a person sitting on the ground, resting their head on their knees with arms wrapped around their legs, in a contemplative pose.
Text that reads 'Catcher' in bold black letters on a transparent background.
The image features the phrase 'YEAH feel' in a stylized, casual font, with 'YEAH' in bold white letters on a black background and 'feel' written in black on a gray rectangular background.
A vintage-style sign reading 'No Trespassing' on a wooden fence.
Leeds City Council logo featuring a shield with two birds and a crown, accompanied by the words 'Leeds City Council'.

lovely words…

We love your total nailing of the brief. Can’t recommend you highly enough to any organisation looking for really strong creative strategy, copy and design.

What I like about Michelle is that she can do the brand strategy piece, while also getting into the nitty gritty of brand assets. Michelle balanced our desire for something that would ‘stand out among 1000 brands on a trade show floor’ with the gravitas needed in the enterprise B2B space.

— Elise Hoffmann, Founder of Engramiq

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.
