Born in Massachusetts, Michelle began her artistic training at the tender age of 13. She learned how to paint with watercolors and oils. Later on she incorporated her techniques onto the face instead of a stretched canvas. Michelle attended Ringling College of Art and Design where she specialized in illustration, but it wasn't until her online popularity that inspired her to fully embrace the makeup industry. Today Michelle has her own skin care line IQQU that benefit all skin types. She personally worked with a dermatologist to develop and formulate the products.
