My name is Michelle Cruz and I am a 21 year old web and graphic designer from New York City. I was born & raised in Queens (minus a 1 1/2 year stint in the Philippines) and I am currently working and studying in Manhattan.

I have been a web and graphic designer for 9 years and I have been interested in photography for about 6 years. I tend to use bright and vibrant colors in the things I make/take. I am happy, overexposed, and saturated.

I hold various art-related positions at clubs and organizations that I am a member of. This includes working as the Senior Creative Director for Encounters (Baruch College's literary arts magazine), the head Illustrator for The Ticker (Baruch College's weekly newspaper), Graphic Designer/Photographer for F.U.S.I.O.N. (Baruch College's Filipino Club), and Concert Photographer/Interviewer for Bandvibe.

I also just recently started designing graphics for the insurance company I work for and I freelance whenever possible. Right now, I have a very busy schedule, but I am always up for new projects.
