Michele “Cookie” Heile
the Nocturnal i, owner, designer
I have been creative in many art forms since childhood, but professionally since my graduation from the Academy of Art, San Fransisco, in 1988. My first job out of college was at KABA Audio, a cassette duplication company, and here is where it all started… My love for graphic design, plus my love for music (listening and playing), started my adventures in music industry graphics, including package design for cassettes (not to date myself), CDs, merchandise, and gig posters. Today, I work as a freelance designer for many businesses, bands, and individuals with unique projects, just like yours.
You will find me fluent on both Apple and Windows with extensive knowledge and use of Adobe Creative Suite including Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, and Acrobat. I have experience with WordPress, WIX Studio, Bootstrap, HTML, CSS, Word, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Illustrator, and more.
My expertise includes concept to design, logo design, photography, photo enhancements and restoration, paper selection, text format, plus content writing, proof-reading and editing; Web design expertise with static sites, WordPress and WIX Studio design; Help with coordination of projects from start to finish. I am dedicated to art, graphics, and learning new techniques which makes my work, and your project, innovative, pleasing, and successful.
I am happy to offer consultation and teach my clients how-to, DYI, site set-up, including securing a domain name, hosting, privacy and security, some SEO tricks and tips. The Nocturnal i, LLC also offers shared web hosting.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope to have the opportunity to give you a quote, and work with you on your next unique project.
