About

Seventeen years inside biotech. Now I work with executives directly.

I'm Michelle Vaira, founder of Majestic View Consulting. I help biotech and life science companies, from stealth through Series B, look as strong as their science.

My Story

My career includes 14 years at MacDougall, a Boston biotech agency, where I started as a freelance designer and rose to Creative Director and then VP of the creative department. I also led creative for biotech and life science clients as a Senior Creative Director at Ogilvy.

In 2024 the agency closed. I found out on a Zoom call I took mid flight. Several clients followed me, because I had always been transparent with them and they trusted me. That trust is what Majestic View is built on.

What I Believe

People judge your company by how it shows up before they ever look at your science. When your deck, website and LinkedIn all look different, audiences quietly downgrade you. My clients don't have a science problem. They have a presentation problem.

How I Work

I lead every engagement myself, with a contract developer for custom web builds and a messaging collaborator. You get senior attention from the first call to handover.

Based in Ponte Vedra, Florida. Working with biotech companies nationwide.

What executives say

What it's like on the other side.

  • “We've worked with Michelle from day one. She designed our logos, color scheme, and investor decks with creativity and sharp attention to detail. What stands out most is her collaborative approach. Michelle is a true partner who listens to feedback, makes thoughtful suggestions, and implements changes quickly. Her design instincts are exceptional. She consistently came back with multiple strong options that were hard to choose between. Our team has been impressed by both her talent and her responsiveness.”

    Aaron Pelta, MBA
    Chief Business Officer, Caldera Therapeutics

  • “We didn't have the tools to best communicate our story to the world. Michelle helped us elevate our online presence, improve our pitch decks, and really tell the story in the way it deserves to be told. Our website is a complete transformation, and our corporate deck did a complete 180. The material was always there, but the presentation matters so much. That's where Michelle has been really helpful. She understood what we needed straight away and went over and above. When we're presenting to an investor the next day and I send the deck a few hours before, she turns it around and pays attention to every detail. She's truly an extension of our team, and it was very clear she was the winner out of all the options we looked at.”

  • “We came to Michelle with a website that needed clarity, structure, and a stronger reflection of who we are as a company. She took the time to understand our vision and transformed it into a site that is not only visually compelling but strategically aligned with our goals. Beyond the website, Michelle created custom mechanism of action illustrations that brought our science to life visually, redesigned our investor presentation, and helped us sharpen the narrative that ties it all together. Having one partner who understands both the science and the story made a real difference. Her collaborative approach made the entire process smooth, insightful, and genuinely enjoyable. We couldn't be more pleased with the final product or the partnership we built along the way.”

    Director, Finance & Business Operations, NextPoint Therapeutics

  • “Michelle helped us do a complete refresh of our pitch deck for a high visibility life science funding conference on short notice. She brought a new framework and new graphics that elevated the whole presentation. What we really liked was being able to brainstorm through the difficult parts collaboratively and efficiently with Michelle in real time. It was a great experience and the results were outstanding.”

    Scott Thacher, Ph.D.
    Founder & CEO, Orphagen Pharmaceuticals

  • “My superpower is coaching nonprofits. It's not figuring out what my brand looks like. I was literally about to quit, stuck in the minutia of things I didn't understand and didn't want to learn. Michelle came in and said, 'I got you.' She took what was in my brain and created it. When she sent that logo, it was exactly what the brand is supposed to feel like. Working with her is totally collaborative. She checks her ego at the door. It's all about the customer, all about the deliverables. She moved me from one platform to another seamlessly, kept the brand looking beautiful, and let me stay in my lane while she handled everything behind the scenes. Now when I send a new client to my website, I'm so proud of it. Don't hesitate. Don't walk. Run.”

    Robin Berlinski
    CEO, The Abundant Nonprofit

  • “From my very first conversation with Michelle, I felt inspired and energized. I was launching a new biotech consulting company and it was important to partner with someone who has deep expertise in the industry, a modern design approach, and an efficient process. Michelle was the perfect fit. She took my vision and brought it to life in a way that felt fresh, creative, and impactful.”

    Rachel Eides Goberstein
    CEO, Raygo Strategy

  • “Michelle has a keen talent for visual storytelling. We've worked together on biotech projects for over 10 years across five different companies, and I continue to be impressed by her ability to take on an established brand and create fresh materials or build something entirely from scratch. Every time, she delivers.”

    Michelle Avery, Ph.D.
    SVP, Corporate Affairs, Quotient Therapeutics

  • “As a marketing consultant, I've partnered with Majestic View on several projects, from full brand identity and logo design to color palettes and marketing collateral. They're truly a joy to work with. The team is creative, responsive, and great at turning even loosely defined ideas into designs that feel spot on. Communication was always clear and easy, and every project came together beautifully. I've been thrilled with the results and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.”

    Michelle Vierra
    Founder, Vierra Marketing

  • “Michelle was an exceptional partner in bringing my website to life. She took the time to truly understand my vision and translated it into a site that feels uniquely true to my brand. Michelle's creativity, patience and thoughtful guidance made the process seamless. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michelle to anyone looking to build a standout website.”
