My name is Michelle (friends call me Mick) and I live in New England with a prissy little Maine coon cat named Layla. My full-time gig is as Art Director for the Patriots and Patriots Football Weekly. I have 25+ years experience in print design and 15+ years experience dabbling around with websites. I'm a graduate of Keefe Tech’s Graphic Arts program (where I still serve as Chairman of the Graphics Advisory Board) as well as a graduate of RISD’s Web Design & Development program.
