Hi, I’m Michelle,
a freelance graphic designer and creative business owner based in Cyprus. I help passionate small businesses and hospitality brands bring their ideas to life with intentional, story-driven design.
My journey into freelancing began when I became pregnant with my first daughter. At the time, I was working full-time as the head designer for a hotel and restaurant group, a role I loved, but one that didn’t quite fit with the life I was building. After shifting to part-time, the pandemic hit, and I was made redundant shortly after giving birth to my second daughter. It was scary, but honestly? It was the best thing that ever happened to me. It gave me the push I needed to finally go after the dream: to work for myself, from home, doing meaningful creative work I truly care about.
Today, I work with clients across industries to design branding, logos, and menus that are not only beautiful but backed by strategy. I also run By Michelle L, a sister brand filled with joyful hand-illustrated prints, party goods, and giftable pieces for life’s little moments.
Most days you’ll find me behind my screen, designing, illustrating, and trying to balance creative business with motherhood. Whether you’re starting a brand, planning a celebration, or just looking for something special, I’m here to bring your vision to life with heart and intention.
Thank you!
