After honing her craft in design studios and corporates across Sydney, Michelle established her Rozelle-based design practice in 2020 to focus on brand development and surface design for clients seeking thoughtful, well-crafted design delivering impact and engagement.
“From the get go Michelle was so easy to work with and professional. She understood my business and idea and elevated it to 110% with her unique and creative style. I am so pleased with the outcome and the opportunity to have worked with Michelle.”

Your business doesn’t visually cut through in the market or stand out against any of your top competitors.
Your brand identity is made up of a few colours you chose based on your personal taste.
Your logo is from canva, which means there are other businesses out there using the same one.
No matter how much time you spend DIY designing, your visuals never feel cohesive.
Is your business floating in the ‘sea of same’?
If you want your social media to stand out and not blend into the crowd, it’s time to do something different.
Investing in a strong brand identity today can set your business up for future success.
