Curiosity quietly guides every conversation and project I undertake—constantly urging me to explore complexity and possibility. With five years in communications and three in design, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective shaped by a passion for seeing beneath the surface, listening deeply, and crafting with care. Welcoming diverse perspectives is central to my practice, allowing me to bridge strategy, creativity, and human insight. I believe the most resonant solutions honor both the questions and the people who ask them. For me, design is more than a profession; it’s how I engage with the world and strive to create meaningful impact for people, the creative industry, the planet, and businesses.

From the very beginning, Michelle brought an incredible mix of creativity, strategic thinking, and deep understanding of storytelling. She played a key role in refining our value proposition and making sure our messaging was not just clear, but compelling. She also provided valuable insights into UX and UI, helping us shape a more intuitive and engaging experience for our users.

She structured her work in a way that made collaboration seamless, using visual tools and frameworks that made everything feel well-organized and efficient.

Michelle is genuinely engaged in creating value for her clients and does so by combining her deep knowledge in UX and Service Design with a professional and kind attitude. Michelle was highly communicative throughout the whole collaboration giving frequent updates during each step of the design process while handling the complexity of our field. Noticeably, she ran the best workshop I have ever attended: it was fun, well designed and facilitated. By the end of it my team had very actionable outcomes. Ultimately, her expertise significantly has accelerated our success and if you get the opportunity to work with her, do it

Besides her good relationship management that extends to the collaboration with internal team members, Michelle is capable of conducting in-depth research on defined topics, and extract insights that could facilitate following design considerations and activities. Her background in copywriting and communication helps her find the right way of expressing complex concepts and ideas, identifying the key points to highlight and convey in the presentation. This is precious, for example, when working on the narration of opportunity areas or while storyboarding a concept experience.
