Creative & Innovative Web Designs for Authors & Small Businesses

Hello! I am Michelle Gill, a freelance web designer. Buffalo Creek Designs, BCreek, is my website design company. As a Wix Partner designer, I create websites for authors, artists, and entrepreneurs. The East Coast Journal is both a professional and personal design and travel publication. I also share interviews with some of my fascinating clients and other interesting people that I meet along the way.

My training and experience started at Roanoke College. While attending college, I managed a local coffee shop, Mill Mountain Coffee & Tea, worked on various political campaigns, and graduated with a B.A. in Political Science with a concentration in Written Communication as I started out an English major with the intentions of becoming a writer. My first professional job was as the New River Valley Area Director of the American Heart Association, I covered eleven counties and five AHA Boards of Directors. In Richmond I was the Colonial Area Director and planned the 1st Annual Williamsburg American Heart Association Heart Gala at the Kingsmill Resort.

​

After moving to Tallahassee, I accepted the position of VP of Promotions & Events for Spectrum Research & Consulting, planning various political and non-profit events. I traveled the state of Florida assessing resorts and planning conferences for the state universities and Florida legislature as the Associate Director of the Florida Student Association. For five years, I was also the Golf Tournament Director for the Association of the United States Army in Tallahassee as the founder of the event.

My first company was an event planning and political consulting business - Redfish Event Management in Tallahassee. After returning to Virginia and receiving many requests for my design work, I started my own web design business - Buffalo Creek Designs in 2012.
