Testimonials:
“During the time we worked together Michelle was a constant source of interesting ideas, workable solutions and reasoned thinking. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any visual design, illustration or UX work.”
David Cave – Freelance Senior Interactive Designer, BBC Vision
“Michelle produces fine work, and is great at answering a brief. It’s also easy to work ‘remotely’ or virtually with Michelle; she tracks the work and provides you with statements of costs at each stage, which helps your project management.”
Dr Lizzie Jackson – Head of Learning Innovation at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication
“Michelle was a key part of our team on the Genre Homepage redesign project at the BBC.
She showed a quick understanding and a clear, concise approach to the project, maintaining
enthusiasm and innovation throughout a very strict schedule of deadlines.
The success of the project, and the praise it has received, can certainly be attributed to Michelle’s design approach.
I can certainly recommend her as a dedicated designer on website projects.”
David Kidger – Producer BBC factual and learning
