Michelle Lau.

Most people call me Michelle.

Inspiration.

I find inspiration through my travels and everyday objects.

History.

My love for interior design started at a young age – my childhood was surrounded by the natural beauty of wood in our family timber business, my path in interior design was clear.

This unique upbringing instilled in me an enduring passion for wood products and their transformative role in design. After honing my skills in marketing with media firms with a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Relations and Advertising from Loyola University Chicago, I further pursued my passion, acquiring a Master's Degree in Interior Design from the New York School of Interior Design.

I am a Designer(and a do-er).

My professional journey began at global luxury powerhouses such as PVH/Calvin Klein and Kering Group/Bottega Veneta – in these roles, I gained an understanding in store design and planning and visual merchandizing, broadening my grasp of luxury aesthetics and brand narration. These roles have imbued me with a keen eye for luxury design and an acute understanding of visual storytelling and brand narration.

My path in design is further enriched by my tenure at acclaimed and award-winning design firms: Meyer Davis and Chris Shao Interiors, where I honed my craft, collaborating with a diverse array a variety of esteemed brands: my portfolio includes working with luxury brands and clients: real estate developer, The Related Companies, hotels such as Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, and culinary experts led by the likes of Michelin Star Chef Christopher Kostow, to name a few.

Blending the elegance inherent in nature with the unique stories of my clients, each space I design is visually arresting and authentically aligned with my clients' live and stories.

This commitment to timeless elegance parallels my personal practice of slow living in the ever-busy New York City, emphasizing the importance of intentional and balanced living.

Experience.

Currently, my expertise is dedicated to private clients in New York City and Upstate NY. When designing homes, my goal is to craft spaces that offer tranquility and functionality, providing an oasis of calm in the bustling city life. In the restaurant sector, I collaborate with up-and-coming chefs and owners, offering design consultancy and occasionally lending my expertise in branding and identity creation.

Life-long learner in:

I am a lifelong learner deeply passionate about the intertwining worlds of Interior Design, Architecture, Art, Music, Writing, Photography, and Education.

My journey through these creative realms has not only enriched my professional expertise but also broadened my perspective on the beauty and complexity of the world around us. In Interior Design and Architecture, I find joy in shaping spaces that resonate with harmony and purpose.

My love for Art and Music is reflected in my appreciation for the subtle nuances that make each creation unique. Writing and Photography allow me to capture and narrate the world's stories in vivid detail.

Lastly, my dedication to Education stems from a firm belief in sharing knowledge and inspiring others. This multifaceted journey has been a path of continuous growth, enabling me to weave a tapestry of experiences that I bring to every project.
