Hi there! Iā€™m Michelle LaRocca, a graphic designer living in Brooklyn. I hold a B.F.A. in Advertising Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology, where I was lucky enough to study abroad in Manchester, UK to study Communications Design. It was there that I fell in love with typography and now I try to incorporate it into everything that I create.

In 2014, I started Meeschmosh, a screen printed stationery line that showcased my illustrations, lettering and love of bold colors and witty one-liners. My work has been posted about on multiple websites including Vogue, Refinery29, Etsy, Entertainment Weekly and POPSUGAR. My line was also available in boutiques throughout the country as well as at West Elm.

Fun Fact: I once had a painting of mine hang in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was for an employee art exhibit, but still, it was pretty cool.
