In this week's episode of Dare to Design I chat with Michelle Wintersteen!
Michelle is a fourth-generation female entrepreneur who now has her own business as a brand designer. She is definitely an inspiration to me and I was low-key fangirling when chatting with her. Her social media presence on Instagram and more recently Tik Tok has driven her business to new levels of success. In this episode, she shares how she got from point A to point B and how she has built her own business within the realm of graphic & brand design! We also touch on what it was like growing up within a family of entrepreneurs (a corporate job being Plan B), while also going through Michelle's workflow when working with multiple clients at once. Enjoy!
