Hello, I’m Michelle – a designer with over 8 years of experience in visual and product design. I enjoy bringing innovative ideas to life by creating impactful designs that make a difference and enhance people's quality of life. From web design to infographics, user interfaces, and logos, I’m always excited to create thoughtful and meaningful experiences for people. I thrive in an inclusive work environment that fosters creativity, collaboration, and growth.


Currently, I’m freelancing, but also open to full-time and contract opportunities. Feel free to contact me if you’re interested in working together!
