RESUME

About Me

Hi, I am Michal, 

a native-born Israeli but actually a citizen of the world. After living as a child in New York and studying in Stockholm, I settled in Berlin in 2012.

​

As a Graphic designer, I look at the world around me through the lens of beauty and design. ​

​

My great passion for details and the love for my profession lead me to create my unique BLUM designs.
