Hi i’m Michaela Anne, a graphic designer and artist based in Portland Maine, with a deep passion for creating vibrant flower illustrations using Adobe Illustrator. I graduated from the Institute of Art and Design at New England College with a BFA in Graphic Design and Photography. My work blends contemporary design with a touch of whimsy, featuring bold colors and intricate patterns inspired by the natural world. I love exploring new design techniques and pushing the boundaries of digital art. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy video and card games, journaling, and immersing myself in music. I also find joy in exploring the beautiful mountains of New Hampshire and the scenic coast of Maine. As a dedicated fan of the Premier League and the Red Sox, I delight in attending and photographing live music concerts. When I’m not focused on my art or studies, I work at a local grocery store to support my hobbies. My art reflects my dedication to transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary. 

I am a graphic designer inspired by the opportunity to create designs that make a positive impact. Design is meaningful to me because it offers the chance to bring clarity and delight, whether through posters for charities or logos for businesses. I focus on using my unique, stylized approach to simplify complex information and engage a broader audience. By incorporating distinctive shapes and vibrant borders, I aim to transform everyday visuals into compelling and memorable designs.
