Michelle Staub is a hand-embroidery artist based in Ohio, US. Growing up in a family of creatives, she was always encouraged to pursue her artistic side and went on to study art at college.

Michelle later created her first pet portrait of her cat and, after receiving a lot of attention online, she started to attract custom commissions for similar pieces. Since then, she has gone on to specialize in embroidered pet portraits and shares her work with over 180K followers on Instagram. In 2021, she also published a book, Pet Portrait Embroidery, filled with patterns and guides to help others create custom pet portraits of their own.
