Hello!
Hi! I'm Michelle. I am an illustrator with a background in molecular biology, English literature and law. I designed greeting cards and stationery under Chelleline Cards for ten years. During that time, my cards were carried in over 100 brick-and-mortar locations, including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the McCord Museum of Montreal, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri.
I currently work as a small business owner and as an educator and raise our two children with my husband.
My illustrator debut, THE BIRD I BECAME by J. Drew Lanham, is scheduled to be published by Enchanted Lion Books in Spring 2026.
My author-illustrator debut, ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A GINGERBREAD HOUSE (tentative title), will be published by Familius in Fall 2028.
Current and past clients include: Enchanted Lion Books, Familius, FamilyAlbum, Rihanyo NPO, The Rad Dad Box, Sundae Home, Little Shu Box, Catalilies Play Cafe, Dress for Success Austin, and private clients.
