CanvasRebel Magazine featured me! We talked print nerdery, my winding path into design, and how belly dance and burlesque sneak into my creative work. Give it a read: canvasrebel.com/meet-michell...

Magazine cover styled as CanvasRebel, Stories & Insights, August 2026. A smiling woman with dark wavy hair with purple tones, red lipstick, gold hoop earrings, and a black dress with a lace neckline. Cover headline reads "Meet Michelle Hartz, Austin's print-obsessed designer." Additional cover lines read "From logos on pens to full truck wraps," "The designer who speaks fluent print," and "Why great design starts at the printing press."

I was watching Dragonslayer, and my cat, Sethra, sat on my desk and watched the ending with me. Then, after it was over, she starts chewing on the little 3D printed dragon I have on my desk. I think I'm inadvertently teaching my cat to slay dragons.

I actually enjoy taking the bus when it's convenient. I feel like I accomplished something. Unfortunately, convenient bus trips are rare in Austin, so the chances I get to use public transportation are few and far between.

No, I am not going out to play in the snow. I moved to Texas to get away from this crap. Snow is a four letter word. I had enough of shoveling, cleaning off cars, driving in "the roads are clear enough we're not canceling" conditions then sliding off the road, etc. I'm not leaving the house today.
