About Interior Motives

Voted Best Interior Designer for 4 years!

Michelle founded Interior Motives in 2000.  Originally from Michigan, she has lived in the South Carolina Low Country for 20 years.  Before Michelle starting her own interior design firm and store, she worked for J Banks Design as the buyer for their high end showroom.   The position allowed her to travel the globe to places like Atlanta, New York,  High Point, and England.  The experience made her realize that it doesn't cost a fortune to look great! 

Michelle's design theory is to render a space for its ultimate purpose, encompassing both functionality and beauty.  She is a master at incorporating a client's ideas with her own expert vision, creating spaces that reflect their life and her own personal style and expertise.  Her residential practice is known for its distinct combination of traditional appeal with contemporary overtones, providing a classic feel in a soothing and warming manner.

"Living in a beautiful home has the power to enhance the quality of one's life! Chances are you're particular about who to select as your interior designer."

"I hired Michelle for a paint consultation and was AMAZED with how easy she was able to pick out my colors right on the spot!! My house is so appealing, warm and cozy just with the paint. (: She had a Reliable painter that was ready to go as soon as we chose the paint color. She worked with what we had and made it look new and fresh just like a brand new house. I would highly recommend her for ANY design needs!! "
