Hello there, and thanks for visiting my site! My name is Michelle (friends call me Mick) and I live in Massachusetts with a big, furry Siberian rescue cat named Savannah.
I have extensive experience in print design – I marveled at magazines and matchbooks since I was a little kid. When I stumbled into a print shop for the first time at 13 years old, I knew I had discovered my professional bliss. In retrospect, I’m so grateful I knew from a young age what I wanted to do, and found the path to do it. When websites and social media came on the scene, I saw them as extensions of print – just with new design challenges and parameters. I was excited for that, and I’m equally excited to dive into whatever comes next.
My full-time gig is as Director of Design Production for Kraft Sports + Entertainment which encompasses the New England Patriots, the New England Revolution, Patriot Place and Gillette Stadium. I started with the Patriots as Art Director for Patriots Football Weekly – a full color magazine for fans which was sunset in 2019. My role within the KS+E organization grew throughout my time there, so despite PFW’s demise, I kept going. I really thrive when working on big picture projects, and collaborating with members of my team to create top-notch work – walking that fine line between what fans want while meeting the needs of our corporate partners.
A stickler for always wanting to learn a new skill, in August of 2023 I decided to kick it old school and learn how to design stained glass. I create my design templates on a computer, but the rest is all working with my hands – cutting the glass and then grinding, foiling, and soldering it. Another creative bliss I feel grateful to have found.
I’m a graduate of Keefe Tech’s Graphic Arts program as well as a graduate of RISD’s Web Design & Development program. If you wish to connect with me I invite you to contact me via LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook.
