## About

### Houzz Badges

- Recommended on Houzz
- 250 Ideabook Saves
- Best of Houzz winner

Tired and a bit disillusioned by Corporate HR work, Design by Michele got it’s start when I decided to follow my passion for style and design and start my own business. 
 
It’s a very intimate thing to have someone invite you into their home and trust you to deliver on a shared vision. My job as a designer is to translate the client’s likes, wants and needs into their project. A big part of this is to listen and ask a lot of questions to gain a full understanding of my client's end goals. I enjoy helping my clients create rooms that fit their lifestyle and that they love to live their life in.  I’m always honored and humbled when I am hired to transform the space that someone will enjoy for years to come!

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Chrissy Sherman, April 2019**

> We worked with Michele and she is amazing. Her attention to detail with our budget in mind every step of the way made the process seamless and rewarding. Not only did she have excellent ideas for our kitchen, but thought of ideas to help maximize every inch of space to accommodate everything we were looking for. I'd highly recommend Michele!

**Comment from Design by Michele, LLC:**

> Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your project.  I am so happy that you love it!

**★★★★★ — HU-852284164, Jan. 2019**

> Michele transformed a difficult space into my favorite room in the house.  She listened to my preferences, discussed options, and presented me with a reasonable (not overwhelming) number of options to choose from.
> Then she was able to source the decor at fabulous price points.  If nothing else, her expertise and vision alone were worth hiring.  She suggested touches that I was completely unaware of and am so grateful for. The added value comes with the fact that we now have a room that we won’t be looking to change in the near future - which is what happens whenever I decorated on my own.  She’s great!

**★★★★★ — Fabrizio D'uva, Jan. 2019**

> Bought a new house....had zero furniture.  Had ideas in my head as to how I wanted to furnish it.  With out Michele those ideas could have never come to fruition.  This was the biggest project of my life and she held my hand step by step until the entire project was finished.  Michele has the ability to listen and execute a game plan all the while giving me options to consider, then assisting with the purchasing, delivery, installation and set up. Words can not express the gratitude I have for Michele and her work.

**★★★★★ — Deborah Malatak, April 2018**

> Michele was so easy to work with!  Picking cabinets can be a daunting task, Michele listened to what my husband and I liked and was able to narrow the choices to exactly what we wanted.  Michele was totally accommodating and made time to meet with us on short notice when we had to meet a deadline.  Overall a great experience and we would definitely use her again.

**★★★★★ — Christine Boufford, Oct. 2016**

> Michele's design concept was more than I could have imagined.  She took our small, outdated kitchen and turned it into a beautiful, modern, highly functional kitchen.  We now spend all our time in that space!

**★★★★★ — cherb777, March 2016**

> Michele helped me from the day I moved in almost 6 years ago when my house was just a 'basic' townhouse.   Today I live in a wonderful HOME and Michele helped me achieve my vision.  She listened to what I wanted and thoughtfully the choose colors, furniture and fixtures to give me a home I always dreamed of having.  We remodeled (3) bathrooms total, put in a new hard wood floor, painted and developed an amazing study/office space out of a loft area overlooking my living room, remodeled the stairs and I now have a spa master bath with a soaking tub that's absolutely amazing.   Her attention to detail and taste in colors, furniture, lighting and window treatments is one of a kind.  I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to give their home a new life.  She's one of a kind and a pleasure to deal with.

**★★★★★ — lubitsky, March 2016**

> Love Love Love Michele's style. While she let us dictate the actual pieces but she guided us through the process and made several great suggestions for contractors and suppliers. The transformation from our 1973 kitchen to a great open space was phenomenal. thanks for all the help!!!

**★★★★★ — Nicole, Feb. 2016**

> Michele was great helping me with my kitchen renovation. Her eye for color and design helped me immensely. The room turned our beautifully!

**★★★★★ — mickeyrnc, Nov. 2015**

> Amazing working with Michele.  She transformed my family room and it is exactly what I envisioned.  Everything done in timely manner.

**★★★★★ — rcincottaford, Nov. 2015**

> Michele was excellent in planning our master bathroom. She took the time to sit and plan with us and try out many different ideas. She asked key questions that made us consider many things we would not have thought of without her input. She called manufacturers and found an affordable option for tile that I loved. She gave us suggestions, but was not pushy about it, for contractors who were professional and thorough. I'd hire her again in a second.

**★★★★★ — bknott7007, March 2014**

> Michele redesigned my bare family room into a cozy, welcoming space.  She was able to build upon what little I had.  She was responsive to my needs and followed up with providers.  What I liked most was her ability to move things from one part of the house to another showing me opportunities for embellishment that I alone would never see.

**★★★★★ — kjennyadams15, March 2014**

> I hired Michele to work on my living room re-design project. It was an odd configuartion and very difficult to visualize how it could possibly all come together. She prepared several possible designs for us to consider. The one we selected truly transformed the room into something we would have never considered. On a personal note, Michele is a true professional. She offers great ideas while remaining flexible, always offering alternative options. I will definitely be working with her on future projects.
