About Michele Silvestri

As we live in an increasingly experiential, virtual and visually driven world, effective Design and Content solutions at scale have a powerful role to play as a brand delivery mechanism. Crafting distinctive brand experiences and delivering them through smart production solutions, that drive excellence and effectiveness, along with savings and efficiency, is a simply good business. Throughout my career I have had the pleasure to work on a variety of brands across various industries, earning swag from the EFFIEs, CA, AIGA, GDUSA, TDC, DDF, The D Show and Urban Green Council. I was named one of GD USA’s “People to Watch” in 2013, served as a Design juror for the 60th Annual CLIO Awards and the IADAS 24th Annual Webby Awards. And most recently, our Makerhouse team took home a Gold Lion. My passion for inclusivity, leading with empathy and the power of Design at scale, is evident and only overshadowed by my passion to live life to its fullest.And being a mom to the greatest son on the planet.
