Laura Michaels

Laura Michaels brings a unique combination of vision and creativity to her role at Fusebox, backed by over a decade of experience leading teams in strategic marketing, design, user experience, and technology development within the interactive space.

From Day One, her goal has been to create a unique and dynamic environment where fresh ideas and solutions would be both encouraged and welcomed. She leads by inspiring and challenging every member of her team to envision new ways to think about client products and services—and ultimately, how to make their offerings more relevant to their customers.

Laura has led online brand development for companies of all sizes, from startups to Global 1000 companies. She has a particular love for working within the "startup culture," and helping fledgling companies evolve to reach their true potential. Laura even takes a hand in helping startups develop their office environment and culture to encourage maximum creative output.

Throughout the course of her career, Laura's revolutionary and inventive work has garnered industry praise, resulting in several coveted One Show Interactive Pencil and Clio Awards.

Laura started her journey with a BFA in Graphic Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology—a choice that reflects her lifelong love of the arts. This same passion fuels her volunteer work in promoting arts-based causes. She works with several not-for-profit creative organizations as a board member, including MoreArt.org, an organization dedicated to making art more publicly accessible, and Streb.org, an organization that focuses on introducing new cultural paradigms to movement and dance, public performance, and arts activism.

And since one career is just the beginning for someone like Laura, she also funnels her artistic genius into an original line of jewelry. Her work can be found at lmichaels.com, where she has adopted keys as an ongoing motif in her fresh, unmistakable designs—designs which reflect the unique, exciting vision Laura brings to everything she creates.

Laura lives in Chelsea with her daughter Kassandra and two dogs, Licorice and Sonné. When she's not in the city, you're likely to find Laura in Montauk—one of her favorite places on earth—where she'll be surfing or shooting pictures with her ever-present camera.
