Michelle is amazing! She is really clear on what is possible, has insight as to what will appeal to which target audience and is a great implementer of her strategies. She’s delivered quickly and efficiently every time we’ve asked. And most importantly, we feel truly heard when discussing our briefs: she hears the objectives, provides the right solutions to achieve those outcomes, and takes us on the journey with clear communication. She knows what she’s doing, in this field and in business.Thank you Michelle. 😊

It's not often that developers have the same attention to detail in implementing a design as a designer. But that's not the case with Trade Lateral. There is so much attention to the smaller details which is really refreshing. Michelle clearly has a lot of experience in making sure your design doesn't only look good but works well across every platform and screen.

Michelle is a professional, driven, and assertive personality who gets things done. At the same time, she exhibits the self-awareness to allow clients to be honest about their preferences – without getting fazed. She respectfully drives to get the project completed, which is exactly what a busy professional needs in a working day full of competing priorities. I’m delighted with the outcome. Thank you, Michelle.
