Michelle: Owner & Designer
Michelle is the founder & creative director behind MW Designers, now living in Germany. Her love for design started at a young age when she received her first hope chest from her parents, and ever since then, she has been collecting unique pieces that speak to her heart. With her family moving every couple of years, Michelle could document each home’s design process on social media, hoping to inspire others to design their happy place, no matter where they are. In 2019, she decided to turn her passion into a business, and MW Designs was born.
Michelle’s design philosophy is simple: surround yourself with the things you love, and your space will reflect your personality and bring you happiness. As a designer, Michelle is known for creating sophisticated and collected spaces with lots of texture. Her designs blend old and new items with traditional and modern aesthetics, resulting in a unique and personalized feel for each room. Her work has been recognized in The Cottage Journal, Washingtonian, and BlackRock Galleries, among others.
When Michelle isn’t designing, she’s exploring Germany, trying out all the amazing cafes, and spending time with her husband, 14-year-old son, and 3-year-old daughter. She approaches life with a sense of adventure and a desire to make the most of every moment. Let Michelle help you create a space that truly reflects your style and makes you feel happy and inspired.
Keli: Designer & Content Curator
After years of working as a radiologic and mammography technologist, Keli was ready for a change that would reignite her passion and creativity. That’s when she joined the MW Designs team full-time in 2020 and discovered her natural talent for sourcing beautiful pieces that breathe life into every project. With a sharp eye for design and a knack for finding hidden gems on a budget, Keli is the queen of adding those fun and unique touches that pull a space together.
When she’s not designing, Keli loves to explore new places and relax with her family, either on the slopes or in the comfort of their home. With her love for adventure and her passion for design, Keli brings a fresh perspective and a wealth of experience to every project she works on.
