This is the hub for my personal design work—a place to share the projects, experiments, and ideas that shape my creative story.
Hi, I'm Michelle Warner
I founded TinyBird Creative to support and uplift small businesses through thoughtful design.
During COVID, many small businesses came to me needing websites and branding, which sparked the creation of TinyBird Creative. As lead interaction designer at Kettle, I use my expertise to craft meaningful digital experiences and support my team in delivering exceptional work. Outside of design, you’ll find me reading, running, paddleboarding, or serenading my cats with early 2000s club hits.
