Hi! My name is Michelle, and I'm very happy to share this little corner of my life and design world with you! 

I created my first logo in the second grade. This was the same year I decided I wanted to be a little business woman, and I made and sold to my classmates, little paper note pads, address books, and even purses, drawing my logo centered on the bottom/back of each piece!

I’ve loved art and design for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I practiced my lettering any chance I could get, decoupaged my notebooks with themes, and participated in art contests. In college, I minored in art as an undergrad and have two years of masters studies in graphic design.

Most art I’ve featured here are things I’ve created for friends and family and/or word of mouth opportunities that came my way. I work as a graphic designer in a non profit, and on the side, add things here and there to my site just for fun. I'm currently set up to shop on Etsy for downloadable verse art.

And if you're curious as to what "parapalla" means, here's a blog post of the background of where it came from and what it means to me. 

Thanks for being here!
