As a previous 9-5er, the world is not set up for a 9-5 work schedule.

When businesses are only open from 9-5 and your work schedule also happens to be 9-5, it leaves no time for appointments, meetings, or other life things to get done throughout the week.

... Making those short 2-day weekends even crazier as you try to jam everything into Saturday and Sunday.

This is a large reason why I choose to operate my business on a different schedule.

I know you’re BUSY.

You’ve got a job, a household to run, maybe even tiny humans to care for—which makes it nearly impossible to set up a M-F 9-5 meeting time.

Instead of asking you to come to an “office” for meetings, I either come to you or we meet over coffee—because who doesn’t love a little caffeine & design talk? ☕ (I can’t be the only one)

Most traditional design firms run on that rigid M-F 9-5 availability, but I understand that life doesn’t always fit neatly into those hours. 

That’s why I started offering select evenings and weekends to accommodate your schedule!

Sure, a Pinterest-perfect home might look great but does it *function* great?

Obviously in home design, aesthetics are important. 

But, functionality is *more* important.

Your home isn’t an art gallery, it’s a space where you and your family will spend the majority of your time. (In fact we spend ~60% of our lives at home) 

So it goes without saying that your home is a space that should cater to your needs, accommodate your daily activities, and enhance your overall quality of life.

Say you have a stunningly designed kitchen with sleek countertops and trendy fixtures, but bump into your partner every night cooking dinner... your space isn’t functioning like it should.

Or your bathroom has the most luxurious finishes, but you have to wiggle between the door and toilet to get out of the room everyday.

Ultimately, while aesthetics may catch your eye initially, it’s functionality that will truly make your house a space that supports and enriches your lifestyle! 

So when choosing a residential designer, make sure they understand the importance of functionality and are committed to creating a home that not only looks good but also *works* for you and your family.
Just sayin’

If your family’s days start with an Olympic-level sprint to the toilet or shower...

We should talk. 😅
If you would have told little Michelle that being a type A perfectionist would actually be a really helpful thing one day, I’m not sure she would have believed you. 🤣

I’ll be the first to admit—I’m that person. 

The one who double-checks the double-checks, adjusts a layout five times because the spacing is off by half an inch, and lies awake at night thinking, “Should that window really be there?”

And while living in my brain can be exhausting at times, my obsession with getting everything just right is *exactly* what you want when you’re building a home.

Because in residential design, details are everything. 

Tiny details like door placement, hallway spacing, and kitchen appliance locations are the difference between a design functioning vs. not. (Trust me, you’ll thank me when you’re actually able to open your refrigerator and dishwasher at the same time without bumping into each other).

This is something that significantly impacts my clients (in a good way of course) because when I hand over the final blueprint or walk you through your completed space, you can be sure every corner, curve, and finish has been designed with intention and a keen eye for detail. 

And in an industry where the details make all the difference, you want someone who notices and cares this much.

Some random fun facts about me:

- I have never listened to a podcast or audiobook.
- When I travel somewhere new, I collect three things: seashells, rocks, and art.
- I love movies, but the one I could watch on repeat would be Titanic.

Thanks for being here! Tell me a fun fact about yourself in the comments!

To our lovely followers, we’re back! 🎉🎉🎉

Summer 2024 was definitely the much-needed break we needed to reset and refresh before heading into Q3 + Q4.  Scotland in July was an incredible experience, and we cannot wait for our return visit to the UK.

So what’s been going on while were away?

1. Design Hall had its 4th birthday 🎈
When I started our residential design studio in 2020, I was unsure of the future + feeling completely out of my comfort zone.  Each year, when we reach this milestone, I feel so much gratitude for all the support of our amazing clients, industry colleagues, friends, and family who motivate us to keep pushing forward.  It’s all thanks to you!

2. We’re (tentatively) going to be working abroad in Q4 ✈️
Life brings many unexpected things, and for us, that has led to the high probability that we will be working overseas in December & January.  It’s an exciting opportunity; however, if you want to collaborate with us on your late 2024 or early 2025 renovation— definitely reach out sooner rather than later!

3. Even though we’ve been taking a social media break, things are still as busy as ever.  2024 continues to bring new opportunities our way, and we’re working on sharing sneak peeks of our design work now that we’re back online 👀

We hope you all had an amazing summer, and we look forward to reconnecting again for your upcoming new build & renovation design needs!

It’s official! 👀

We’re taking a well-deserved Instagram break after a crazy busy season for the Design Hall team. 

What does this mean for you, lovely Instagram follower? 

Other than you won’t be seeing my face pop up on your feed 4 times a week, and you’ll have to wait for another this vs. that Instagram story series, nothing. 😊

“Will you still be taking on clients?” Yes.

“Will you still be working on current client projects?” Yes.

“Will you be coming back to Instagram?” Yes, in the fall. 

“Why are you taking an Instagram break?” My husband and I are going to Scotland and I need some time to recharge after a packed Q1 + Q2.

Hope that answers everything! Thanks for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you in late 2024.
