Nice to meet you!

I’m Michelle—a wife and mom to Beau (6), Audrey (3), and Louie (1), as well as an advocate. I thrive on creativity and love to make people laugh while building lasting friendships. A good (audio) book, a glass of red wine, and a themed party are some of my favorite ways to unwind.

I enjoy being an active contributor to a team, whether in a professional or personal setting. I believe that collaboration among diverse thinkers leads to better project outcomes. That said, I cherish recharging my social battery with my family at our farm in Potosi, MO.

My experience spans various industries, including automotive, travel, incentives, government, and logistics. For the past five years, I have focused on UX/UI software development, working alongside engineers, product teams, stakeholders, fellow designers, and board members. I’m excited by the prospect of learning new skills and love encouraging others. Over the last five years, I've been asked to transition across teams to elevate design needs and improve team culture, and I’m proud to say I’ve been successful in both endeavors!

I’m excited to explore the opportunities that lie ahead!

Here are a few certainties if I join your team:

  • I’ll organize a (virtual) party at the first opportunity.

  • You can expect a meme or GIF that will bring a smile to your face.

  • I’ll ask plenty of questions until I feel fully comfortable with the material.

  • I’ll make an effort to connect with you beyond work-related topics.

  • I’ll be seeking recommendations for fun restaurants because I’m a simple gal eager to expand my horizons beyond The Neighborhood Grill (a.k.a. Applebee’s)!
