Michelle Hobbs, Partner
Michelle has over 25 years of experience creating design that inspires engagement and impact for organizations and brands in a variety of sectors. She is passionate about design’s power to enhance understanding, create value, and inspire a better collective future.

In these roles, she designed and facilitated online and in-person workshops for human services, energy, environmental, and transportation teams.
Prior to her facilitation work, Michelle spent two decades in corporate branding, marketing communications, and graphic design. She led an in-house creative team at VEIC and managed her own Burlington-based design studio, creating design campaigns for clients in healthcare, specialty foods, and in the non-profit sector.
