Hi, I'm Mikelle

I make things that make me happy.

I’ve been a graphic designer for 16 years now. While getting my BFA, I was mentored by a former Target senior designer who taught me all about pattern design and trendspotting. I fell in instalove with this new-to-me art form. I worked in the corporate world for the next decade, but surface design was my true passion. I used my skills at every opportunity; creating repeats that are used on packaging, stationery, toys, interiors, and print materials to this day.

In 2022, I decided to pursue surface design full time. Thanks for joining me on my dream journey!

A little more about my work as a full-time graphic designer.

My graphic design work has been featured in Parenting magazine and Baby Talk Magazine, and online on Apartment Therapy, Babble, and Nickelodeon’s Parents Connect. I’m lucky enough to have a board game company and actively license game concepts to Goliath Games. As a graphic designer I worked with licensing companies on a regular basis.
