About

My name is Ms Michelle Jinx, I am an Artist/Illustrator/Graphic Designer from Merseyside, England. I graduated from Liverpool John Moores with a BA Honors in Multimedia Arts.

I went straight into a job becoming a web designer for TheHut.com in Northwich, Cheshire. Here I created a bunch of crazy characters, ‘The Hutties’ to give TheHut.com a friendly and inviting experience for the shopper.

Over the past couple of years at TheHut.com, my work has been featured in The Times Newspaper, The Metro Newspaper, Inside Soap Magazine, the London Underground, The FX Channel, Burnley Football Stadium and my Jinxsy Bunny character has been spread on billboards across the UK.
After gaining more experience in the creative industry I embarked on an inspirational quest to Las Vegas, Nevada.

On my return, I landed a job as a Graphic Designer in Leyland, Preston working for Bee.com. Here I maintained the Bee.com online store and created the Bee.com entertainment stores in Manchester, Bury, Blackburn and Birkenhead.

My current creative challenge is with the chartered marketing company Studiowide team based in Liverpool City Centre.

I would describe my style as cute, cartoony, mythical, sexy and a bit mad.
