Design is so much more than the aesthetically pleasing box you see, feel, touch and experience. Design is about creating a beautiful space that meets and exceeds the client’s needs, desires, and program requirements and BUDGET while designing to code and local jurisdiction requirements that allow for safe exiting, fire safety, and ADA laws. My role is first to protect the health, safety, and well-being of the general public while experiencing a space- which says nothing about an aesthetically pleasing space. RIGHT? While colors, finishes, and furniture come into play to please the senses DESIGN starts inside the box!!

Michel’s View of Design
Michel thrives on working with others. It is about having a personal connection and a genuine interest in others that has resulted in long-lasting relationships. Michel finds reward in collaborating with her customers and from having personal connections exceeding their expectations with dynamic interiors.
She practices Interior Design with integrity. Her primary focus lies in protecting the health, safety, and well-being of those in the built environment. This requires designing to code, local jurisdiction requirements, and ADA laws.
With the above understood, Michel views design as a method of research along with the process of discovery. The design you see, feel, touch and experience may be beautiful, but this is not just by chance. From the beginning, Michel practices progressive programming. She seeks to understand the customer’s business and the intent of the space(s). At the same time, she gathers information to identify the wants and needs…….and ultimately what matters most to the customer.
During a project, Michel is a collaborative guide taking learned information from the customer to the next level of space planning and through to design development. At this point, the creativity of incorporating a palette of finishes, furnishings, and built-out construction elements is designed. From the development phase, construction drawings, permits, and construction on-site take place. And the grand finale is when the installation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment takes place to bring the entire space together.
