About Me...
Michele earned her B.A. in Arts Management with a focus on social media marketing from SUNY Purchase in 2010. After graduation, she continued to pursue her interest in social media marketing in the independent music industry and various public relations roles. 
Her passion for design and communication led her to enroll in The Fashion Institute of Technology in 2016, where she obtained a certificate in "Computer Essentials for Graphic Design" while conducting an independent study on the relationship between design and communication. During her time at FIT, Michele gained practical experience by taking on various projects such as creating posters and flyers, product pattern mapping, and logo and brand creation.
To further her knowledge in problem-solving, design, and market research, Michele decided to enroll in The Career Foundry UX/UI Design Bootcamp in September 2018. Since completing the program in December 2019, she has been working as a UX designer both independently and with cross-functional teams, preferring the team environment for the diversity of knowledge, brainstorming of ideas, and the support it provides.

I am passionate about solving problems in the digital space through the measure of good design. I do this by aligning business objectives with market and user research, usability testing, and an iterative agile process."
