Hi, I’m Michelle!

I’m a freelance writer, illustrator, and author who helps people talk about the things no one wants to: death, anxiety, menopause, money, and more.

I specialize in content writing and illustration for service-based professionals in mental health, end-of-life care, and finance—transforming tough topics into meaningful, accessible content. I also write across genres of fiction and nonfiction, exploring everything from emotional healing to magical realism.

Alongside my kids, I create picture books and middle grade mysteries under the pen name A.J. Kormon—stories full of curiosity, creativity, and heart.


Writing and illustrating life’s hardest topics—with heart.


I’m addicted to comics and oracle card decks, so I started creating my own. Check out my illustration portfolio for more samples or click the image below to head over to my SolVin Creative card deck shop!
