ABOUT MICHELLE
Michelle grew up as an Army brat traveling the world and living in various fun places from Germany to Hawaii.  Her interest in art and fashion began early in her life and she followed through with this passion by majoring in Fashion Design at Radford Univeristy.  Her passion was furthered after interning in New York for Michael Kors and followed by starting a career at the luxury boutique, Scoop.  It was family and friends that drew her back to the DC area where she was lucky enough to continue working in this field at DC’s leading luxury retail store in the area of visuals.  This opportunity has allowed her to cultivate her passion for design.
It was also at Radford University that fate led Michelle to her future husband, Phil.  She and Phil now happily reside in the metropolitan area with their fur-baby Yorkie, Louis.  In her spare time she enjoys sketching, designing and sewing.  Of course, a perfect night wouldn’t be complete without a nice glass of wine…or two.
