Hello!  I'm  Michele, a southern California native and third generation  U.S. citizen.  I grew up in Los Angeles in the 80's and 90's with frequent visits to Connecticut and New York. I have a deep love for my eclectic family history of Spanish, Cuban, Jewish & Roman Catholic heritage (heavy influence on food and architecture)! From a young age I had an appreciation for film, antiques, art, and music much of which has shaped the foundation of who I am to this day. I grew up going to old theaters and restaurants of bygone eras. I was an avid ballet dancer,  enjoy creating art and relish opportunities to travel both across the U.S. and  Internationally. All of these influences opened my eyes to a bigger world both in time and space. There is so much more to our built environments, there is history, personal stories, purpose and passion. I love having a part in shaping the world and realizing spaces for clients. through their unique experiences and adventures.  Throughout my professional career spanning over 20 years I am drawn to environments and creating narratives for clients that tell a story richly layered in history, textures and the ways we move through them. I'm an open book so anything you'd like to know, please reach out, I'd love to connect!
