Kips Bay Designer Showcase
With 12 years of experience in creative and art direction, I led the visual direction of three distinct designer homes in West Palm Beach, NYC, and Dallas, each serving as a backdrop for A-list interior designers with dramatically different aesthetics.
From coastal modern to layered metropolitan luxury to bold Texas grandeur, each home required a completely unique creative approach. I translated each designer’s point of view into a cohesive visual narrative, overseeing spatial styling, composition, lighting direction, and on-site execution to ensure every frame honored their signature style while maintaining brand alignment.
The result was three visually distinct yet strategically unified environments, each crafted to elevate the designers’ work and deliver refined, editorial-level storytelling across photo and video platforms.
“Michelle has an exceptional ability to step into any design space and instantly identify the strongest product placement and camera angles. Her quick judgment keeps shoots moving efficiently, knowing exactly when a shot is essential and when it isn’t. With a sharp creative eye and over 20 years of experience at Kohler, she elevates every space through fast, thoughtful decision-making. A true team player, Michelle helps drive seamless collaboration, enabling us to deliver high-quality assets on time and at the highest standard.”

Sr Producer , Intergrated“Michelle serves as a key coordinator during our high-pressure photo shoots. These environments are notoriously unpredictable, often requiring us to navigate tight schedules, overlapping sponsor needs, and the logistical constraints of a live job site. Michelle’s primary strength lies in her ability to take a complex set of variables, including floor plans, designer specifications, and marketing priorities, and translate them into a tentative, actionable shot list.”
