Hi! I’m Michele!

​

Thanks for stopping by!

​

Originally from Joplin, Missouri, I moved to Denver in 1998 to attend the Art Institute of Colorado where I received a B.A. in Graphic Design. Since earning my degree in 2001, I have been working full-time in commercial printing and doing freelance on the side.

​

From November 2006 until September 2016, I had been working as a customer trainer and technical advisor for a wide gamut of clients in a large, commercial print environment. I provided training and support in regards to color management, file prep, submission and best commercial print practices.

​

With this experience, I have an advantage most designers don’t!

​

Not only will I create something awesome but you can rest assured it will re-produce as intended! I am comfortable communicating with printing companies and am able to work as a liaison between you and them if needed.

​

After five years of growing my freelance “side hustle,” I finally came to a point where I was able to leave my “day” job in printing to pursue my passion of design. I will admit, it was bittersweet since I loved working with such a diverse clientele and wonderful company. But here I am!

​

In September 2016, I created Incognito Graphic Design LLC! Why Incognito? From working in commercial printing and as a designer, I know the “magic” happens behind the scenes! There is a lot that your audience doesn’t see that goes into producing really great work! It’s a science and I love all aspects of it! For me, my satisfaction doesn’t come from having my name in lights but rather in making you shine by focusing on your identity!

​

I’ve provided several clients with a wide range of design & production services that guarantee long lasting impact. Working with clients on various projects such as logo design and branding, publication layout, postcards, ad design and calendars, I understand the importance of creating visual appeal for your target market. Image editing and manipulation is another area I have a ton of experience in!

​

Perhaps you have a great designer building your project but are in need of some help with the "behind the scenes" work. Good news, I can help! I can work with your designer to teach them the production side of printing. I can review incoming ads to ensure they meet your specifications and are up to par for reproduction. I can work directly with your advertiser's to correct any production issues with their supplied ads. I can help with color conversion, retouching and manipulation of images.

 

I'd love to chat with you about your project! My design and production skills will take your business to a whole new level!
