Heeeeeeey!
I’m Michelle.

FILMMAKER + ART DIRECTOR + ILLUSTRATOR + ZELDA ENTHUSIAST

For the past decade I've had the pleasure of directing art at Yeah Haus- we've collaborated with amazing clients, made award- winning short films and hired awe inspiring talent. I've been invited to speak at creative conferences and colleges, attend film festivals and even pitch animation onstage in an outer-space styled jumpsuit.

✌ Michelle is currently an Art Director for Crayola Create & Play at Red Games. ✌
