Hi! I’m Michelle.

A neatly made bed with gray bedding, a light gray throw pillow, and three green accent pillows on a wooden headboard. Above the bed hangs a framed map of the Columbia River Gorge, and a wall-mounted reading lamp is attached on the right side.

I’m a designer, photographer, systems strategiest and mom of four who has always loved people-centered design. I’m passionate about creating systems that help families thrive. Yes, I’m that nerdy person who stays up late reading all the books on feng shui and organization and family strategies, so you don’t have to.

I’m a question-asker and a problem solver by nature - and I’m here to be the BFF you always wished could just come into your house and help you figure out the sticking points. I am happy to get into the trenches with you to come up with a customized plan to solve fix whatever is bothering you.

I see your home as an environment - one where every input and output, every player, has a purpose. If your home isn’t running smoothly and joyfully, then we can figure out how to help it flow beautifully.

Pretty Over Perfect started as a podcast about finding joy in the everyday by embracing simplicity, creativity and a little sparkle. And it has become something more.

What began as conversations about home, life, routines, and family turned into a community of people looking for better ways to live—not perfectly, but purposefully.

Today, Pretty Over Perfect is where these ideas come to life. They go from theoretical, to practical. I’m excited to help make the ideas real - in your home, closets, and with your families - through coaching, resources, and creative systems designed to support you in whatever season of life you’re in.

If you’re looking for an organizer who
+ cares about people and aesthetics and improving the little things
+ will take into account everyone and everything in your home (and how they work together)
+ wants to create systems that work with your unique personality, schedule and situation
+ loves a challenge and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty
+ believes that small changes, practiced over time, have a huge impact on how you and your family feel about your home and lives
… then I’m your girl!
