Just a silly, little designer, designing things.

Hi everyone reading this. I’m a ux/ui/product/web/graphic/motion/food designer. I like to work on projects that actually give a damn about helping other humans or just designing cool websites that make the internet fun again. Ok that’s all, cheers!

Some recent projects and their case studies.

A mix of ux/ui/product/web design case studies so you can see how cool and nice my work is.

01

Product Design

Feature one

Fintech Startup

Founding designer at BrightUp, a company whose mission is to bring financial literacy to those of us in America who need it the most. My role was to build the app from 0-1 and create a journey that would educate, entertain, and build wealth and knowledge for our users.

UX/UI Design

Feature two

Saas Startup

Business solution and produtivity platform for people like you and me. One of the many tasks I was in charge of was redesigning the softwares' dashboard and search functions because honestly they sucked.

Web Design

Feature three

Brand & Webflow Build

I had the honor of helping Gold Thread Communications create and define their luxury communications and consulting brand identity. Also built their super cool, infinite scroll landing page and CMS content in Webflow.

Non-Profit Education

I led the redesign and navigation update for the responsive website for this amazing non-profit corporation that provides services for first-generation students and families from 1st grade until college (and support after too because that's how great they really are.)

A curated gallery of Cat’s wild ideas for class and my take on them.

My clients think I’m cool and so should you.

“Working with Michelle was refreshing. She listened intently & created intentionally. She got things done quickly, and always presented quality design solutions that aligned with my vision. I appreciated not only her creative talents, but her responsive & positive communication style, which made me feel at ease throughout the process. I highly recommend working with Michelle- she is a world-class creative collaborator!

Founder, Gold Thread Communications

"We've already engaged with Michelle on other projects because the first project was so successful. We feel extremely fortunate to have found Michelle. The design she created was great.What I valued even more than that was the thoughtful approach to design, the phenomenal communication, and for working being completed on time. That sounds simple, but finding talented people who follow through on their commitments is surprisingly challenging. Michelle did not let us down in any way and I'd recommend her again and again."

Ryan Sullivan
Project Manager, SiteCare

He's gonna say something great about me I swear. As soon as the project is done.
