Michelle has long believed that luxury and sustainability can be combined to create outstanding interior design. Articulate and passionate about the environment, Michelle is available for interviews about the imperative for sustainability, observations about consumers' growing interest in this issue and her personal take on the growing number of fabulous sustainable furnishings she is discovering from wide-ranging sources, including High Point Market in North Carolina. One of Michelle's newest and most luxurious projects – a 9,000-square-foot new home in the Dallas area – features extensive use of sustainable and reclaimed materials.

Michelle has dedicated her three-decades-long career to creating extraordinary lifestyles through luxury home design, becoming a well-respected Chicago area professional.

She brings a depth of knowledge to each project that encompasses the arts and design-specific math skills, a rare combination in her field.
