For over 45 years in interior design, I’ve built my work around one simple belief: your home should reflect who you are, not me. I listen closely, observe how you live, and design with a true understanding of your lifestyle and needs.
As a dedicated one-person studio, you’ll work directly with me from the first conversation through the final details. I focus on creating spaces that feel personal, comfortable, and uniquely yours—rooms that finally feel like “you.”
Share your vision with me, and let’s turn it into a reality you’ll love coming home to.

Michelle helped guide our decision/thought process, for choosing exterior paint color. The work isn’t done yet, but we feel super confident in the decisions…with Michelle’s help of course!

Michelle is THE BEST! Working with her turned my apartment into a lovely home that completely captures my personality. I got everything that I wanted to get and more by hiring her for my new apartment. Not only do I recommend her, but she will be my designer for life. I highly recommend anyone considering hiring someone to help decorate or design their space leverage Michelle’s expertise.

We had such a great experience with Michelle. She was super prompt and knowledgeable, which made the whole process so much easier. When we were renovating our master bathroom, she helped us dodge some big, costly mistakes. From figuring out the perfect tile layout to picking out awesome finishes, she was amazing every step of the way. Plus, she was so patient and answered all the random questions I kept throwing at her. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with!

Michelle has been amazing to work with! We are not done with our project yet but I am already so pleased with her. She always shows up when we need her and goes above and beyond to make sure we are happy. She has helped us make decisions on a new home we are trying to furnish and decorate. She’s made great recommendations and has a great team she works with for almost any service you need! I can’t wait to see how everything goes. I highly recommend Michelle! She’s great to work with and very personal. I would be lost on this project without her services!
