Hey there đđŒÂ
I'm Michelle Lin, a Senior Art Director at Microsoft, currently based in NYC (aka the Big đ). Originally from Toronto, I've lived in many corners of the đ depending on where life takes me â from Australia, Germany, the Netherlands to San Francisco, designing for companies like Meta, Google, Refinery29, VICE Media, Tripadvisor, Lyft, Nike and more.Â
I have 9+ years of experience ranging from art direction for video and photo shoots for large scale campaigns, building brand identities for new and beloved global brands, editorial features, illustration and building a range of digital experiences for web, mobile, in-app, video and social. I love experimenting with typography, developing unexpected colour palettes, and coming up with the next bigđĄ.Â
When I'm not designing, you can find me going for a run, at a local rock show, watching the Champions League, or searching for inspiration abroad, most likely somewhere completely off-the-beaten path đȘ.
For opportunities or questions, send me an đ© to get in touch.
Cheers!Â
