Michelle is an independent graphic designer and frontend developer in Minneapolis. Before beginning her career, she studied Visual Communications, Psychology and Sociology. As her work progressed, she also branched into front-end development and user experience design. This combination of disciplines led her to adopt a strategy-based approach to design, focused on solving tangible problems and achieving real goals based on how people think.

Now, she collaborates on projects with clients ranging from solopreneurs to enterprise. She loves the open source community, and when she is not working on projects she speaks/volunteers/organizes for events and organizations around the country. Her passions are communication and empowerment, and she believes in the power of “Why?”
