Hi there!

I am Michelle Pao

a UX/UI designer in NYC. When I’m not pixel pushing, I’m probably running off espresso energy somewhere in the city.

someone who will not run out of the itch to create

someone who runs on coffee with condensed milk

someone who runs

making healthcare a little more human at ConcentricLife, part of the Accenture Song fam

Nice to see you down here 👋

My design journey began with paper—creating collages for book reports and loving zines🗞️. I believe creativity is my most authentic form of communication, and I get excited by unique, experiential designs. When I'm not getting that pixel to be in the perfect position in Figma, you'll find me curating Spotify playlists or adding new cafes to my Google Maps favorites.  Catch me on LinkedIn or email me!
