about us
MichDesigns Creative Studio is a freelance creative studio that's been making brands look their best since 2015. Founded by Michelle Ackerman, we've spent the last decade helping businesses — from passionate start-ups to polished corporates — bring their ideas to life through clever, clean, and impactful design.
We specialise in both above-the-line (ATL) and below-the-line (BTL) media, which means we've got your brand covered from big-picture campaigns to detailed touchpoints. No matter the project, we keep things personal, practical, and creative — just the way it should be.
We believe in honest work, great design, and building long-term relationships with our clients. So whether you're starting from scratch or refreshing what you've got, we're here to help.
