Hi there! I’m Michele, the visual designer behind Nopalita based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Through holistic branding & design, I help brands cultivate confidence and consistent messaging to authentically engage with their audience. I am passionate about working with conscious brands — who are transparent in their ethics and intentions, and who value thoughtful, clean & organic design.
When I'm not designing, my husband and I manage a collective of earth-friendly guest casitas on our New Mexico property, Casa Chicoma, along with our gardens, greenhouses, and never-ending property projects! My design aesthetic is greatly inspired by our high desert surroundings, and the plants and animals we share this land with. ​​​​​​​
My design services are focused in brand identity, web, social, editorial, and event design. Looking for a creative hand, a new brand identity, a visual refresh? Thoughtful, impactful design solutions? Drop me a message and let's discuss your goals!
