about.

Really it’s all about you,

your home, your place to gather, rest and love. It’s about finally having a place you want to grow old in. I’m just here to guide you towards that. 


I’m here to work with YOU to create a sanctuary that allows you to leave your worries at the front door and make the best part of your day - coming home.

Hi, I’m Michelle

I’ve followed my passion and love for interior design across the world. I combine what I’ve learnt from my European beginnings in Amsterdam and merge it with some of the Caribbean and Australasian style and design that I’ve learnt along the way.

I’m known for creating spaces that combine understated neutrals with a pop of colour to really imbue a home with the personality of its owner. You want a hint of bold - you’re talking my language!

Collaboration is at the forefront of what I do, first and foremost with you, the client, but also with local trades, craftsman and suppliers. 

Based in Wānaka, New Zealand, with my family, my time outside work is spent in the kitchen, on my bike, with friends interspersed with lots of food, drinks and playing cards or board games!

If I had to choose a favorite room I’d say the kitchen has my heart - it’s a place I gather with family and friends and where I fulfil my love and passion for food and cooking. 

My kitchen often smells of fresh bread, chicken soup and Italian dishes. With my little boy sitting on top of the benchtop keeping a close eye on how his dinner is getting prepared, and to see if there is anything to snack. I love passing on my food knowledge to him!

My office is located at the Architecture and Design Library Wanaka. One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is the opporunity to engage with diverse individuals and delve into their unique stories. I enjoy using these stories to create homes that truly reflect their owners.

I’d love to hear your story too!

Michelle has helped us transforming our dated, small kitchen with no storage to a functional and modern new kitchen. By changing the layout we have gained more storage and more workspace. We are enjoying being in the kitchen again!
