MEET MICHELA AKA CHELA
Hello! My name is Michela and I’m a graphic designer. After studying and receiving my BA in Design, I jumped right into working in the industry and collaborating with various businesses. I’ve always had a passion for the fashion industry and spent a large portion of my career building up small brands and elevating their brand image through strategic social marketing and designs.
I’ve recently transitioned into the beverage industry and have been able to assist and art direct a major brand refresh that has established a positive trajectory of growth for the business.
I enjoy collaborating with like-minded designers with similar aesthetics to achieve the impossible. Let’s change the world one vector point at a time!
