Overview

HELLO, I'm Michelle

I LOVE storytelling!!!
I LOVE illustrating AND designing AND collaborating.
I have worked in the publishing industry for decades, making high quality art.
I have also worked at Hallmark Cards bringing artwork to life in a visually interesting and emotionally authentic way.

I grew up on Long Island NY. I studied at the Rhode Island School of Design. I went to Kansas City to work at Hallmark Cards. I had a great time and a wonderful career at Hallmark, but the time came for me to have another adventure. So, here I am.

I always try to have an authentic relation with my clients. It's important to talk a lot about what we want to create to produce the best book we can. I am also a GREAT cheerleader!!! Let's make a book!!!
