DISCOVERY Think of this as a friendly coffee chat—minus the coffee (or not, your call!). We’ll dive into your vision, challenges, and goals in a relaxed and open conversation. This is where we get to know each other and set the stage for an exciting collaboration.

CREATIVE DIRECTION Here’s where we establish the creative foundation for your project. I’ll begin by exploring concepts and creating mood boards to define the tone and visual direction. Together, we’ll refine this vision and ensure every detail aligns with your brand identity.

DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT This is where the magic happens! As I bring your ideas to life, you’ll be in the loop every step of the way. Regular updates and opportunities for feedback ensure the final result doesn’t just look amazing but feels true to your brand’s unique story.

FINAL TOUCHES As we wrap up the project, I’ll make sure every detail is polished to perfection. Beyond the project, I’ll be here to provide support and guidance, helping your brand continue to shine and grow.

“I’ve worked with Michelle on multiple branding campaigns, everything from logo design, to website creation and beyond. She is incredibly talented, responsive and beyond helpful. She brings life to ideas that are in my head that I’ve had trouble verbalizing. She just “gets” exactly what her clients want and brings them to life. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone who is looking for graphic design, logo design, web design and beyond!”
