My name is Michelle (🍀), and I’m a designer, creative & storyteller.
I initially entered college with an itch to be a reporter. However, over the past few years, I learned that as a journalist, I could bend the rules of storytelling and traditional journalism.
I quickly fell in love with design and interactive/visual storytelling, with magazine and print design being my gateway to getting involved in cool journalism projects. Gradually leveling up in design and expanding my skillset over the past years, I now seek out opportunities to tell stories in engaging & creative ways through collaboration with fellow storytellers.
I believe that my skill set and experiences — as designer, art director and journalist — can be translated into any of the creative work that I pursue.
I love learning new things and picking up various skills along the way (a self-proclaimed lifelong learner). As someone who has dabbled in a range of experiences, I bring an interdisciplinary skillset to every project I undertake and draw on my creativity to amplify diverse stories.
In my free time, I like to doodle, journal the trash I’ve collected & add books to my never-ending tbr (to be read) list.
📖 My current read: Nine Stories by J. D. Salinger
