About me

Michelle Kondrich is a commercial artist and animator specializing in editorial illustration. She is also skilled at creating animated GIFs, storyboards, and whiteboard animation/video scribes. Her work gives a narrative feel to even the most conceptual ideas and she is passionate about telling her clients' stories in often surprising ways.

Michelle is the creator and host of Creative Playdate, a podcast for people pursuing creative careers while raising children.

Michelle was born and raised in rural Nebraska where she excelled at things like musical theater, the trumpet (she was first chair AND won the John Phillip Sousa award) and painting her high school's mascot (a bulldog) in tempera paint on local business windows during Homecoming.

In addition to illustration, Michelle enjoys cooking, sewing, and playing the banjo. She lives and works in Providence, RI with her husband and daughter.
