About Michelle

Meet Michelle

I love design. The process of discovering the hidden potential in every space is my happy place. I want to help my clients rediscover the beauty in every space in their home or business. My mission is to create spaces that my clients can be proud of and want to spend time in.

I have been renovating homes for the past 25 years. During that time, I have forged wonderful relationships with trades and suppliers which allow me to implement my designs with the highest quality materials and in the most cost effective manner.

One of the most important skills of a designer is to have the ability to listen to clients even when clients don’t think they are saying anything important. I have gleaned so much from casual conversations with clients during which they reveal a great deal about how they live their lives and utilize their spaces. I use this information to create designs that are not only beautiful and timeless, but also provide functionality to make everyday life more enjoyable.

I hope to have the opportunity to help you create beautiful spaces in your home or business.

Design Process

Phase One

Pre-Design

Phase one will consists of a telephone call with Michelle or a member of her design team to establish the scope of the project including vetting clients’ needs and goals. During this call, we will also discuss the design fee. If clients wish to move forward at this point, a design contract will be emailed and executed by the client to retain our design services.

Planning

Phase two will consist of a dive deep session with clients to pin down the specific design needs and wants for the project, the budget, the clients’ style and timeline.

Based on the information collected during the intensive planning session with the client in phase two, we will create preliminary plans, mood boards, renderings and 3D walk throughs to showcase the proposed design including layout, floorplans, materials, finishes, furniture, and decor. We will also provide pricing of the materials.
