Director. Designer.
Dog mom. Portland.

Hello. I’m Michelle, a multi-disciplinary director and designer passionate about bringing brand stories to life.

With over 25 years in the design industry, I’ve I’ve had the privilege of working with world-renowned brands, spearheading campaigns for Adobe, Nike, Columbia Sportswear, Nordstrom, Curaleaf, and more — but that doesn’t mean I treat startups or small businesses any differently, be it from a leadership role or otherwise. I am a dedicated and solution-driven partner with a proven track record of excellence in design and leadership.

As a mentor, I lead from empathy, transparency, and a growth mindset. As a collaborative partner, I’m an active listener and persuasive speaker. Maybe it's being a native East Coaster, or maybe it's a lack of desire to beat around the bush, but throughout my career I’ve learned that showing up authentically fosters trust and respect, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
