**★★★★★ — HU-373132401, June 2020**

> Michelle took my fiancé’s bachelor pad and transformed it into the most amazing modern space.  Her vision and staging style were impeccable- I couldn’t believe it.  Made the value in the house go up tremendously!  Hire her- you won’t regret it!

**★★★★★ — petedeluxe, June 2019**

> Michelle and her team are amongst the best in the business. She is a consummate professional who knows how to treat a deadline but remains a pleasure to deal with in the process. Our clients are of the high end and high expectation category and I need to trust that not only our work but our service reflect that. I have been working with Michelle for many years now and I still feel as if with each project she is trying to put her best foot forward which is why we not only continue to give her our business but would not hesitate to recommend her to others.

**★★★★★ — HU-667058407, June 2019**

> Michelle is the best! Committed, passionate, innate talent, sophisticated eye.... she’ll be doing every remodel and redesign I ever have !!!!!

**★★★★★ — Brett Baer, Dec. 2018**

> As an interior designer, Michelle operates at the highest level professionally and creatively. Her dedication to highly compelling design, and to her clients is unmatched. In addition to working with her personally, I've watched her work for dollar sensitive, high production, luxury builders who are exacting in their requirements of budget, time and design. These clients - including myself - continue to hire her for her consistent, high energy, creative output. My highest recommendation for anyone looking to hire an interior designer.

**★★★★★ — Lora Pollack, Sept. 2018**

> Michelle is amazing to work with.  She has great energy and has a passionate love for what she does.   We love our home and the finished product is absolutely stunning!

**★★★★★ — Michelle Rhodes, June 2018**

> I love working with Michelle! She is very good at listening to what our thoughts and ideas are regarding decor and what kind of "feel" we are looking for, as well as noting our personal favorite things. Michelle deftly and expertly integrates all of that with her keen and incredible eye for design. She takes what I vaguely have in mind, and makes it so much better than I could have imagined!

**★★★★★ — Carol Whitley, March 2017**

> Personally and professional as a real estate agent, I have hired and referred Michelle on a multitude of projects including staging, remodeling and decorating. Michelle listens well to the needs of her client and stays within the perimeters provided and she does it with creativity and amazing style.  Her designs are functional as well as pleasing to the eye. Michelle makes any project fun, I always look forward to her calls and she is always the first person I think of when someone needs help with stating or design.

**★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2017**

> Michelle is highly professional! She uses her creativity and work experience to create fresh, clean, and timeless designs that are excellent for resale value. She gets the job done in a very efficient amount of time and has great relationships with other contractors, suppliers, and manufactures.  I would highly recommend her to anyone!

**★★★★★ — mickierosen, July 2016**

> Michelle is an incredibly talented, responsible and reliable, hardworking professional.  She brought beauty, luxury, style, function, and comfort into my home.  She reflected my personal vision, taste, and needs, but also pushed me in some areas with her experience and judgment that brought the style to a whole other level.  Per my request, she worked day and night and did my whole house (4,100 sq ft) in a very short time (weeks), and kept me updated on budgets and helped me make tradeoffs.  She is very honest, and helped me save in some areas so I could invest in other areas.  She has access to workrooms, in addition to designer-only wholesalers, so opened my eyes to a whole new world of options.  Lastly, Michelle is a loving, deeply caring, and soulful person.  I was starting a new life, and was blessed to find someone who brought that kind of loving, strong, and positive energy in her demeanor and work, but ultimately into my home.  I continue to work with her as I continue to evolve and build my space.  I couldn't recommend her more highly.

**★★★★★ — Sujata Desai, July 2016**

> Michelle is a great designer  she has helped me in past and also helping currently.she is expert on all aspects of project's design,color,style etc.
> thanks for your help Michelle.

**★★★★★ — matte79, July 2016**

> Michelle Ruben is hands down the best designer I have worked with.  She has an amazing ability to understand our vision and covert it into beautifuly designed spaces. I am very particular with designers and I have done a lot of research. Michelle continued to exceed our expectations and satisfy all of our our needs after completing dozens of projects together.
