Michelle is an award winning luxury Interior Designer who has worked with corporate executives, entrepreneurs, professional athletes, screen writers, TV producers, & celebrities to create the homes of their dreams. From ocean front properties to desert getaways, she delights in taking her client’s visions for their spaces and refining and curating them (and throwing in a few surprises) to deliver a finished product beyond their imaginations. Growing up in Ireland, Michelle can trace her love of design back to childhood weekends spent at her grandparents seaside cottage, which has been in her family for over 400 years. She loved exploring the homes idiosyncrasies, it’s hidden nooks and crannies and hearing the stories of its past (from the thatched roof to the numbers on the doors left behind from the days it served as a hotel). Erin Cottage gave her a real understanding of the value of one’s home and an appreciation of the historic details that give it character and charm. As a teenager, Michelle moved to Los Angeles and fell in love with the breezy indoor/outdoor lifestyle of Southern California. She readily embraced a casual beachy aesthetic and discovered a new appreciation for modern decor. Michelle’s design style is ever-evolving, but her years of living and traveling through Europe as well as her 30 years of Southern California living have really informed her love of mixing modern and classic styles.
