“Effectively managing projects for a small agency is not unlike ‘herding cats’ (as Michaela and I sometimes joked about it) but probably a more complicated task on the whole. It definitely requires someone who is willing to take on a myriad of different challenges from day to day, hour to hour and sometimes even minute to minute. The creative process is as messy as it is inspiring, and as any creative worth their salt out there knows, a stellar Project Manager is key to the success of literally any project you work on. To that end, I can wholeheartedly say that Michaela was key to so many successes at The Savage Bureau that I’ve lost count. Detail oriented, great with clients, fantastic writing skills, ever-expanding skillset, and most importantly always bringing smart ideas to the team - what’s not to like?!”

"As a long-time freelancer, I've been exposed to an exhaustive list of contractors and project managers and can say definitively that working with Michaela and her team was one of the easier contracts I've had. She is a thoughtful, clear-spoken, and committed project manager who made navigating a the unfamiliar sector of commercial real estate (I write more on health tech and clinical advocacy platforms in my brand writing) easy and interesting. Most freelance writers can tell you that communication styles and flow are often the biggest hurdle when jumping into an established team, but I in no way felt that under Michaela's guidance. Everything was super well organized, cutting down my back research time (I'm sure it saved the agency precious contract dollars) and making it easy to meet all deadlines. Logging into established software systems and project flow was as simple as clicking a button thanks to her hard organizational work. It's amazing how rare that can be and I appreciated being able to dive head first into the contract and being able to zero in on my role in the launch."

"Michaela combines high professionalism with a genuine creative passion and curiosity that facilitated many great project experiences at the Savage Bureau. It was a true pleasure to work with her on key strategic client engagements that built the foundations of the company early, and throughout her tenure."

"I have worked with Michaela on a number of creative projects and really respect her ability to listen, ask thoughtful questions, followed up with some ideas to confirm she understands what we want, then made several thorough and organized presentations with several options to choose from. She is great with the client and has strong people skills on all levels. Our team really enjoyed working with her."
