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 there.
Together, we'll create a sanctuary that lets you leave the day behind and make coming home the best part of your day.

Hi, I’m Michelle

I bring a love of understated neutrals with a pop of colour into every kitchen or home I design, always with a focus on function as much as beauty. My job is to take your ideas and turn them into a space you can't wait to walk into.

Want a hint of colour? Now you're speaking my language.

Collaboration is at the heart of what I do, with you first and foremost, and with the local trades, craftspeople and suppliers who help bring it all together.

Based in Wānaka New Zealand, with my family, you'll find me outside work in the kitchen, on my bike, or around a table with friends, good food, good drinks, and usually a game of cards.

If I had to pick a favorite room, it's the kitchen, hands down. It's where we gather, where I get to indulge my love of cooking, and where my little boy perches on the bench keeping a close eye on dinner (and hunting for a snack). Passing on what I know to him is one of my favorite parts of the day.

My office is at the Architecture and Design Library Wānaka. This is a shared office and library space with over 85 brands' worth of samples on hand, so I can put real materials in your hands, not just pictures on a screen.

Hope to see you soon!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Michelle as our Interior Designer, and we can’t recommend her highly enough! She was incredibly thorough and had amazing attention to detail, especially when it came to the drawings and plans. Michelle brought so many great ideas to the table and made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free.
Her positive attitude and professionalism never wavered, and she was just such a lovely person to work with from start to finish.
If you’re looking for someone talented, organised, and genuinely delightful, Michelle is the one!
