HELLO!

 

Welcome to Michelle Karen Design. I’m Michelle, and I’m a graphic designer with many years of experience in several different areas of design, brand, creative services, and marketing. I’d love to help you deliver the message you want to send out. Whether that’s through a new logo, business card, brochure, ebook, updated or new website, or even just a bunch of promo items for an upcoming event, I can get the job done.

I think less is more when it comes to design. I am allergic to clutter. I also believe that design should have meaning. I don’t necessarily mean that every image or piece of text should have profound symbolism, (though if it does, that’s pretty cool), but rather that every decision and choice should make sense and have a reason for its aesthetic.

I’d love to connect and hear about your design needs. Take a look at some of the work I’ve created in the past, and hopefully you’ll want to discuss how I can be a part of your solution moving forward.

About Michelle Karen Design

All of my work is executed with extreme care and attention to detail in a clean, simple, and pleasing aesthetic. I offer creative and conceptual solutions to design challenges in many areas through the means of print and digital design, and identity and branding. As a designer, I aim to find meaning in my design, and every decision has a reason for its look and function. At the end of the day, it's about communicating, and my job is to convey your message so that it is perceived by your audience exactly the way you want it through design.

One of my greatest strengths is organization and it's what helps me meet deadlines and anticipate next steps. However, it's not just about design; it's also about analyzing results and forming strategies based upon those findings. While I come from a graphic design background, I believe I'm more "left-brained" than most creatives, which motivates me to think critically, work logically, and deliver diligently. Combined, I feel confident in my ability to offer well-rounded, strong, and meticulous results.

Michelle has been our go-to person for anything we need designed—brochures, flyers, t-shirts, photo touch-ups, promotional items, and more. She is professional, responsive, and so easy to work with. In addition to quick turnarounds, she is always able to stay true to our brand and delivers materials that are consistent with our style and practice. We will continue to use Michelle’s services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone who has graphic design needs.
— Dental practice owner (various print items)
Michelle was artistic, efficient and professional. She was open to all of our (many) ideas and notes and provided a ton of beautiful designs for us to pick from. We are so happy with the way our logo turned out. She was able to capture the heart and soul of our business in a simple and clean design.
— NYC coffee shop owner (logo)
Michelle was brought on to produce our company’s Media Kit. She did an amazing job on the project; she worked quickly and efficiently, and was able to produce everything we asked for. She worked extremely hard for us in order to meet our deadlines and I could not be happier with the final product. Michelle is great at visualizing and graphically displaying concepts and ideas that I verbally described. She took our brand and really incorporated our “scheme” into the Media Kit. I highly recommend Michelle and her services. She is extremely professional, personable, and patient!
