Hi, I’m Michelle — the designer who can build your website with a toddler on my lap, so you don’t have to waste hours trying to DIY one on a Saturday night.
I’m a self-taught graphic designer with a luxury retail background in web operations — meaning I’ve managed multiple campaign launches, organized thousands of product catalog updates, and lived in the world of backend web chaos so you don’t have to. I know what makes a site actually work, not just look pretty. (Though pretty is definitely my thing.)
After 7 years inside corporate eCommerce, analyzing site traffic, obsessing over UX, and secretly redesigning every layout in my head, I realized my creative side was way too loud to ignore. I am passionate about designing websites that feel elevated and soulful but also convert like a dream.
And yes… my love for fashion and online shopping shows up in my work. Consider it “market research.”
When I became a mom, I knew I needed more flexibility, freedom, and purpose. So late nights became learning nights — Illustrator classes, design deep dives, and figuring out how to turn all my corporate expertise into something meaningful and aligned. That’s when Michelle Sophia Studio was born.
Now, I help small businesses show up online with clarity, confidence, and a website that feels so them. Because I know how hard it is to get started — and I’m here to make it easier, prettier, and a whole lot more fun.
