Michelle Garcia
Creative Lead + Owner
Growing up as the daughter of an interior designer and a musician, creativity has always been at the heart of my world. This artistic foundation led me on a vibrant journey, from pursuing music in Australia to managing an artisan boutique upon my return to the States. These experiences, coupled with my role as a mother, have shaped my unique perspective on design and space. I've learned that every room tells a story, and I'm passionate about helping others discover and express their narrative through their living spaces.
As a designer, I channel this passion into creating personalized, functional designs that resonate with each client's individual style. Guided by my core belief that our surroundings should bring us joy, I've cultivated a design philosophy that prioritizes happiness in the home. This approach, refined through years of working alongside my mother in her design business, has been instrumental in numerous successful projects, including multiple showhouses featured in Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles. I thrive on the collaborative process, working closely with clients to bring their visions to life. By blending artistic influences with practical insights, I reshape spaces into functional, living works of art that truly reflect the essence of those who inhabit them. I'm dedicated to infusing creativity and thoughtful design into every project, and find immense joy in serving clients and exceeding their expectations.
Who is Emerson?
Great question!
Ralph Waldo Emerson is one of my all-time favorite poets, and the older I’ve gotten the more I’ve realized the widsom of his words. Also, my daughter was almost an Emerson, so the name’s just stuck with me!
