Hello! I'm Michelle.

I
Thanks for taking the time to learn little about me!

My childhood was primarily based in Vancouver, BC. After high school, I received an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Communications, Culture, and Information Technology from the University of Toronto in 2013. Lived in Toronto for about 15 years, and I'm now in Edmonton, Alberta.

My career began as a multidisciplinary designer at an adtech startup called Media Nexus, where I worked on a range of digital projects. I later transitioned into performance marketing, taking on roles at agencies including Acquire Agency and Other Consultancy.

Currently, I’m a marketing designer at Newton, a Series B fintech startup with over 850,000 users. My work involves creating marketing collateral, shaping our brand identity, and managing elements of the website as we navigate the CIRO application process. I also enjoy using data to better understand our users and inform creative decisions.

Outside of work, I enjoy bicycling, cooking healthy meals, and reading.
