Oh hi.
I’m Michelle. As a seasoned advertising professional with more than fifteen years of marketing and advertising experience, my work is deliberately close to the ground.
I create campaigns and imagery people use, often in perpetuity.
I run a small creative advertising studio in Richmond, Virginia where I focus on visual language, brand strategy and storytelling and content production for nonprofits
and small to mid-size businesses.
Creative partnership with intent
Integrated thinking: Strategy, content, and photography are built together, not as separate deliverables. Every image, caption, and campaign decision supports measurable brand goals.
Strategy and design converge to move audiences, grow engagement, and convert attention into action.
Authentic storytelling: Campaigns are created with cultural sensitivity and real-world insight so your message lands with credibility and relevance.
Purpose-driven aesthetics: Photography and visual direction that reflect your values and speak directly to your target audience — polished, intentional, and on-brand.
Scalable execution: From small businesses and founder-led ventures to growing organizations, MGC tailors creative systems that scale with your needs.
Thanks for your patience while I make updates to the site.

Art Direction Overview
Campaign art direction supports brand goals and tells clear visual stories through purposeful color, type hierarchy, and composition that clarify the message while keeping the brand voice. It sets scalable visual rules and adaptable templates for color, type, and layout to ensure consistent execution across print, web, display, and in‑store environments.
