From New York City and now based in Dallas, Michelle works as a Senior Art Director specializing in concepting, branding, brand strategy, print, and illustration. She prefers to design for the bigger picture, seeking to apply thoughtful, considered solutions where it can intersect with relevant issues and causes. Her methods range from loose experimentation to detail-driven meticulousness, incorporating the authentic aspects of human behavior that drive us intrinsically, and help to define the deeper human experience. She is fond of rigorously questioning that which has become commonplace, striving not to make things prettier, but to make them better. When she isn't collaborating or designing, she's at the barn training horses as a Natural Horsemanship apprentice, or on the road with her motorcycle, Justin.

Michelle graduated Summa Cum Laude from RIT, and holds degrees in both Graphic Design and Illustration, with concentrations in both Creative Writing and Photojournalism. She also studied at the School of Design at the Bauhaus in Dessau, Germany.
