Michelle Abreu .

Growing up as a first-generation Dominican-American in Washington Heights, I was immersed in a diverse and multicultural community that exposed me to a wide range of perspectives and obstacles. This experience shaped my understanding of how design can be used to better serve people's needs. I was inspired to merge minimalistic and easy-to-navigate user interfaces with vibrant color schemes and typography, with the goal of creating more engaging and interactive user experiences that bring products to life.


I am an ENFJ-T personality type, a Slytherin, and an Aries which are the holy trinity of my personality. In my free time you can catch me listening to KPOP, taking absurdly long walks, and most importantly drinking an iced latte. A fun fact about me is that I am the proud mother of three sea turtles that I adopted virtually from The Sea Turtle Conservancy.
