Not only a great designer, but a valuable collaborator and team member! Michelle was amazing to work with. Not only did she listen to what the clients were asking for, but she was able to go above and beyond to create and produce just the right designs. She is open to direction, but also brings a lot to the table in terms of recommendations and creative ideas to provide the best products. I truly enjoyed working on a creative team with her and appreciate her attention to detail, respect for deadlines and strong design skills. If given the opportunity, I'd work with her again in a heartbeat!

Michelle is a smart, detail-oriented graphic designer. I was blown away by the creativity she brought to every project. She always took the time to completely understand the needs of the project; she really utilized her marketing skills to customize each piece for its intended audience. We managed many complex, vague projects, and she was able to visually represent each one flawlessly, and managed to clarify the topics better than the clients that spent months planning the projects! Given the chance, I would definitely work on her team again.

Michelle is reliable, friendly and fun to work with. She was proficient with the software and took very little time to get up to speed with office procedures. We were able to rely on her to handle big, important projects with little to no supervision. She was greatly missed when she left and contacted numerous times about other job openings in an effort to get her back in the company.

Michelle was a calming presence in this high-stress environment...
Not only is Michelle an outstanding designer, she's also a creative leader who would make a great addition to any design team. In our time together at JWT, deadlines were constant and unforgiving. Michelle was a calming presence in this high-stress environment and was always focused on finding the best solutions for our clients. Michelle was also skilled in managing the different branding requirements of our many clients at JWT. At any given time, she was expected to grasp the unique creative vision for 5, 10 or more unrelated campaigns and execute flawlessly. If our professional paths crossed again in the future, I would have total confidence in knowing that I was working with one of the best.

Michelle does amazing work....
Michelle does amazing work. Everything she has done for me (save the dates, bridal shower invitation, bridal shower games, wedding invitation inserts, program, slide show at reception and various other things) were all wonderful and exactly what I wanted. She really wants to make sure you get exactly what you want and strives to make it look the best. She recently helped me decide on the styling for my business card and getting the logo to look perfect. I plan on using Michelle for all of my needs in the future.
