Michelle Roberts
I have 7+ years of professional graphic design experience. Currently working from my home office in Hillsboro, Oregon.
Glass half full? Always?
That's right. I am very well-known for my optimism. Often, no matter the situation, I can find the bright side. This unique ability in combination with my strong empathy helps me to communicate visually with people.
