Hi! I'm Michelle. I'm a designer and problem solver based in Queens, NY. I'm also a first-generation American, a mom, and a creative thinker + doer. I am passionate about mindful, meaningful and sustainable design that is informed by research and community participation.
Inspired by both the mundane and the magical, I love making useful products + systems that bring people joy and ease. I am always on the lookout for new ways to use my skills for the betterment of our homes, communities and families.
With over 15 years of professional design experience, I have expertise in designing and developing products, jewelry + fashion accessories, sketching and illustration, facilitating design research, leading workshops and more.
