I'm Michele — the web designer and developer behind Eight84, a one-person studio on the Space Coast, FL. I design AND build, so businesses get a faster, sharper shipping partner than a traditional agency.
Started with a pixel, ended up here.
Eight84 was born from a simple frustration: too many websites look the same. Cookie-cutter templates, lifeless interactions, forgettable brands. I wanted to build the kind of work I wished existed — and I've been crafting on the web since 2004.
I work with businesses across the Space Coast — Palm Bay, Melbourne, Viera, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach — and with remote teams everywhere. Same hands design it and build it, which usually means it ships faster, costs less, and looks like it was actually made for you.
A few things I believe in
Craft over speed
Every interaction, every transition, every layout decision is intentional.
Partners, not vendors
Your wins are my wins. I stick around long after launch day.
No fluff
Clear communication, honest timelines, real results. No 47-slide decks.
Always evolving
I stay curious, experiment relentlessly, and bring the latest thinking.
