Graphic designer • Brand builder • Visual thinker • Design to code

MICHELLE STEIDLE

I turn creative ideas into brand, web, and campaign experiences, blending strong visual design with systems that keep the work consistent.

Most recently, I was the sole dedicated graphic designer on the Marketing team at Chowly, a restaurant SaaS company (2024–2026).

Self-initiated work

Built from the ground up.

Three concept brands developed from strategy through identity, web, campaigns, and digital experiences without client constraints.

Real-world work

Built inside a real SaaS brand.

A closer look at my time at Chowly, where I owned day‑to‑day design across brand, web, campaigns, events, and customer programs.

How I work

Good design goes beyond the final asset.

I think about how the work fits together, how it gets used, and how it can stay consistent as the brand grows.

01 · Design to build

Taking design past the mockup.

I take select digital work beyond Figma into live implementation, connecting design decisions to how they actually behave in the browser.

02 · AI visual creation

AI accelerates. I direct.

AI helps create the scene. I art-direct the final. The screen stays real.

03 · Brand-wide thinking

Make it easier to repeat.
