What Sets Me Apart
Empathy-Led Design
As a former bilingual educator, I’m used to breaking down complex ideas in simple, clear ways. That mindset helps me create experiences that feel easy to navigate, welcoming, and user-friendly, especially for diverse audiences.
Design Backed by Strategy
With a degree in Business Marketing, I know how to think beyond just aesthetics. I focus on aligning user needs with business goals, making sure my designs not only look good, but also support things like conversions, engagement, and overall usability.
Always Learning, Always Designing
After earning my UX/UI certification from General Assembly, I’ve been deep in Figma, working through real-world projects where I handle everything from user research and wireframing to prototyping, testing, and iterating based on feedback. I'm constantly learning, experimenting, and refining my process so I can keep building better, smarter experiences.
Recommendations
I have been privileged to get to know Michelle for the past year, and I can say that she is an amazing person, professionally and personally. She was always a kind and inviting individual. Taking everyone together and helping them all was her habit surely coming from her teaching background. I did learn many things from her that I did not understand from the instructors at first. She’s an excellent speaker, making her a perfect representation of the storytelling side of Ux to both technical and non-technical audiences. Not only would I recommend Michelle, but I consider myself fortunate to have met and worked with her.

Product Designer
Michelle is everything you could want in a team member. She meets each challenge with a positive, enthusiastic attitude only matched by her no-quit work ethic. When she sets her mind to something, she goes above and beyond until it is accomplished, and accomplished well. Her approach to any problem is done mindfully with attention to detail. She is a natural born leader who takes the initiative with the ability to pivot when things inevitably go awry. Her exceptional communication skills make her an asset when it comes to digital storytelling and conveying to stakeholders how a product will effectively drive results and company growth. If you have the opportunity to work with Michelle, consider yourself very lucky!
