Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/michelleamaris

I am a multi-disciplinary designer with a passion for baking. I find creative, beautiful, empathetic, and playful solutions to interesting design problems. I enjoy working in different mediums to craft user experiences, from brand identity conceptualization to print and digital media. 

I believe a beautiful design needs to be functional as well. Good design is a language, a tool that can help communicate feelings and vision. My previous experience working in architecture has taught me to approach my work intentionally, with a critical eye for detail and follow-through. I design and build physical and digital spaces that are navigable, accessible, and delightful.

I carry the principles of the iterative design process and design thinking in everything I do, including baking and cooking. When I'm not working, you can find me developing recipes, scoring bread, and trying new bakeries and restaurants.
