HI! MY NAME IS NOËL NORAH MICHIENZI
Creative Director
Runnin’ on Grit & Glitter
I’m a multi-disciplinary Creative Director that builds strategic brands and mentors teams through wild ideas, sharp logic, and unfiltered authenticity. I lead with heart, intuition, and strategy, and believe great ideas come from equal parts logic and creative clairvoyance.
Case Studies
From the first concept to final pitch, I led and made this work. I designed, presented, proofed, adjusted, and delivered; always with intention, clarity, and a little flair.

Creative Philosophy
How I think
Design isn’t about filling space. It’s about creating meaning. Every element I use, from a single shape to a system-wide tone of voice, has purpose.
How I Lead
I believe in giving direction, not just directions. I guide the process with intent so the designer can problem-solve, grow, and evolve.
How I Work
Because great creative leadership means knowing how the whole machine runs (and sometimes running it yourself).
